Cavaliers 90, Bucks 110: (The Deer were Feared.... apparently)

The Cavaliers were playing their second game in as many nights against the Milwaukee Bucks.

And it was a night were the Cavaliers gave up over 55 percent shooting to the Bucks and saw yet another backcourt tear apart Cleveland.

Second year point guard, Brandon Jennings scored 18 points and 4 assists. But it was the smallest dear that was the Cavalier killer.

The 5 foot 6 Cleveland native, Earl Boykins also scored 18 points, and was the main reason the Bucks shot 60 percent in the first half.

Milwaukee shot 70 percent in the second quarter (14-20) and Boykins made all of his attempts in the period. Earl was the biggest reason for the 17-2 run for Milwaukee was the Cavalier killer.

Boykins scored all of his 18 points in the first half and helped Milwaukee score 39 second quarter points.

Jennings then added onto the assault with 14 points in the third quarter as the Bucks opened the second half on a 14-4 run, opening a 62-49 halftime lead.

The Cavaliers were once again thin on players as that has been the story of the team's season. Baron Davis left the team due to his death of his grandmother in Los Angeles.

Davis has been the spark plug of the team since his arrival and has been the team's leading scorer.

The Cavaliers just didn't have it tonight. The team gave up 110 points to one of the worst offensive team's in the league.

Cleveland gave up 70 percent shooting in the second quarter and 660 percent in the first half.

Samardo Samuels, who has been playing well in the past few weeks, got the start again. He scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.

He scored 11 of those points in the first quarter. Daniel Gibson also helped with 13 points who recently came back from a bruised thigh injury.

The Cavaliers got six players to score in double-figures but it wasn't enough to shoot down the deer. Each starter except JJ Hickson scored in double-digits. Hickson, who dislocated his left pinky last night, had a rough shooting night. He finished with four points and grabbing eight rebounds.

Cleveland won't play again until Sunday, where they travel to Oklahoma City.
