Cleveland at Milwaukee

Much was expected of a Milwaukee Bucks team that surprisingly made the playoffs last year. Many thought they were ready for a big season. Just as soon as they take a step forward, they take a step back, and have now dropped three straight games. All the early season concerns about the Cleveland Cavaliers being a team in decline have been emphatically answered. The Cavs have hit their stride, are suddenly 23-8, and  are on an 18-1 run. Cleveland has tightened up the "D" and are shooting the ball extremely well at 50% or better in 6 of their last 10. After some serious defensive shortcomings early, no opponent has managed the 50% mark against them in eight straight games. Take Cleveland.
