Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a career-high 33 points for the Bucks, who trailed by as many as 21 in the first half.
Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams missed the game because of a sore right leg and center Timofey Mozgov strained his right shoulder in the second quarter and didn’t return.
Parker was expected to miss at least the Bucks’ three-game road trip, but the youngster will suit up on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Khris Middleton had 14 points, Jerryd Bayless added 13 points while Michael Carter-Williams added 12 points but it was all in vain as the Bucks were already behind by 64-46 at halftime.
The Cavs led by 21 in the second quarter and maintained a 63-48 lead at the half before almost giving it all back.
The way Blatt and James have been talking the past few days, it would seem as if the Cavs have a losing record instead of their East-leading 9-3 mark. “We cut it to two or five points, then the floodgates opened for them”. At home, we won against the best team in the world. “He’s all over the floor”.
The 20-year-old made his season debut against the 76ers on November 4 after sitting out the season’s first four contests.
