LeBron James leads Cleveland Cavaliers to dominant win over Milwaukee Bucks to maintain perfect start to NBA season

  • 21/10/2017

The Cleveland Cavaliers are perfect through two games in the 2017/18 NBA season after a comfortable road win in Milwaukee.

Following on from Friday's season opening win against the Boston Celtics in Cleveland, the Cavs swept aside the Bucks with consummate ease off the back of 24-points from LeBron James, while three-point specialist Kyle Korver chimed in with 17 off the bench.

The first quarter was tight as Cleveland struggled to find any rhythm, while the home side looked in slick form thanks to the ever-growing pedigree of their star player, Giannis Antekokounmpo, who bucketed 8-points in the first 12 minutes.

However the Cavs worked things out in the second quarter, with their bench showing the energy that was missing during the 2017 finals series against the Golden State Warriors.

Korver hit three maximum's in two-minutes while new recruit Jeff Green ended with 10 first-half points as the visitors took a six-point lead into the break.

The Bucks had no second-half answers as the  Cavs machine went into full force.

James took over the game, scoring 16-points in the final 24-minutes ably assisted by Kevin Love (17) and Derrick Rose (12).

The Cavaliers visit Orlando on Sunday while the Bucks host the Portland Trailblazers.
