What was really impressive was the Cavs didn't shoot that well, making only 41.3% of their shots. Mitchell was 12-for-27 and he missed some jumpers from the elbow area that he usually makes. Allen missed 11 shots and most of those were shots he usually makes, like the wide open push shots in front of the rim. He airballed an uncontested jumper from the elbow.
LeVert and Strus were 3-for-10 and Okoro 1-for-6. The Bucks are trying to become a better defensive team and they played hard, but the Cavs missed a lot of makeable shots, yet still won by 12. They also missed 9 free throws. With even an average shooting night the Cavs would have won by 20 or more.
After two games in Milwaukee it's 1-1 and the cumulative score is Cavs 228, Bucks 226. Given that the Bucks had their entire roster plus home court advantage while the Cavs were missing two starters I'd say they did very, very well.
