CLEVELAND – The Cavaliers were able to prevent the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks from clinching the NBA’s Central Division title on Wednesday.
Rookie Collin Sexton scored 25 points and Jordan Clarkson finished with 23 points as the Cavs got past the Bucks, 107-102. Sexton made a 3-pointer with 1:42 left and dropped a driving layup one minute later as Cleveland dropped the Bucks to 53-19.
Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the game with a sprained right ankle that also caused him to sit out Tuesday’s win. The team also announced that forward Nikola Mirotic is out indefinitely after an examination of his left thumb revealed a sprain and a fracture.
