The Packers play tonight on MNF which meant yesterday, all eyes in Wisconsin were on the Bucks. It did not take them much time to impress their fans. They jumped out to a quick 11-0 lead and looked like they would not miss a shot. Too bad they couldn’t keep it up.
After the teams exchanged scores for a few minutes the Cavs took over. After Ersan Ilyasova’s two point score with 4:35 left in the first quarter, the Bucks would not score again for almost twelve minutes. The Cavs took advantage of the Bucks’ cold streak by scoring 29 straight points. The highlight of this run was Delonte West who scored 12 straight off the bench with two and one’s. The bench, especially Lebron, was loving this. The whole team is pulling for Delonte who is struggling to overcome his illness and get his head back in the right place. The Bucks did manage to score in the last half of the second quarter. They put 17 on the board in the last six minutes but the Cavs scored 31. This gave the Cavs a 52-33 lead at halftime.
Besides the obvious difference is points, the stats do not really show that the Cavs dominated the game. Bucks standout rookie Brandon Jennings had 24 and Hakim Warrick added 11. The Cavs’ leading scorer was no other than Delonte with 21 points. However, all of the Cavs starters had at least 8 points which gives them more balance in the scoring. The Cavs had 7 more turnovers than the Bucks but it did not factor into the outcome.
If you were watching the game closely then you heard that obnoxious horn in the background of the game. That came from the section of seats that Andrew Bogut paid for. He wanted to have a section that created a college type atmosphere. All I can say is that I feel bad for the people who sit near the section. Luckily, the section got realllly quiet during the Cavs’ 29-0 run.
