Game Story
MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- Glenn Robinson scored 10 of his
season-high 33 points during a decisive fourth-quarter run as
the Milwaukee Bucks handed the Cleveland Cavaliers a crucial
99-91 loss.
"Glenn Robinson was big and played a great game," Milwaukee
coach George Karl said. "In the last few minutes we found a way
to win. Tonight's game was close to a playoff mentality --
physical, interesting and we need that."
Cleveland entered tonight's contest percentage points ahead of
New York and one-half game in front of Philadelphia for the
final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Tonight's loss, combined
with the 76ers' 96-92 win at New Jersey, dropped the Cavaliers
into ninth place in the East.
"They made the shots they had to to win the game," Cleveland
coach Mike Fratello said. "Glenn had a huge game for them. We
had our chances but they made the shots and we didn't."
Derek Anderson sank a 3-pointer with 5:18 to play that gave
Cleveland its biggest lead at 83-78. The Bucks responded with
an 18-4 run to take a commanding 96-87 lead with just under one
minute remaining.
"They kicked the ball out well," said Anderson. "They found
people open and made the shots. They came out and hit the open
shots as well as the tough shots."
Ray Allen scored 17 points and Dell Curry added 13 off the bench
for Milwaukee, which holds the sixth spot in the East. The
Bucks, who have not made the playoffs since 1991, avenged
Sunday's 98-74 loss to the Cavaliers and snapped a two-game skid.
Shawn Kemp had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Wesley Person
scored 14 points for the Cavs, who had a three-game winning
streak stopped.
The game, which featured 12 ties and 15 lead changes, seemed to
swing in Cleveland's favor after Anderson's jumper gave
Cleveland what appeared to be a safe five-point cushion.
Robinson hit a 12-footer and Allen sank a 3-pointer to forge an
83-83 tie with 4:25 left.
"Glenn and I had to step up and play big for the team tonight,"
Allen said. "We talked to each other and helped each other grow
on the court. We know that we are counted on to make shots."
Brevin Knight, who had 10 points and five assists, gave
Cleveland its final lead of the night, 85-83, on a layup with
4:02 remaining.
Allen made another 3-pointer and Robinson converted a
three-point play with an acrobatic layup over Cedric Henderson
to give the Bucks an 89-85 lead with 2:07 to play.
"This was a big game for us tonight," said Robinson. "It was
nice to get a big victory at home. When Ray and I play well,
everyone feeds off us. Coach loves for us to shoot
(3-pointers). Tonight the basket looked pretty big to me."
Henderson, who scored 13 points, made a pair of free throws
before Robinson sandwiched a 3-pointer and a pair from the
stripe around a Vinny Del Negro layup to cap Milwaukee's spurt
with 40 seconds remaining.
Robinson and Allen combined to go 6-of-8 from long range.
Andrew DeClercq scored 13 points and Anderson added 12 for the
Cavs, who shot 47 percent (29-of-62) but surrendered 24 points
off 18 turnovers.
"(Allen and Robinson) are two very competitive players," said
DeClercq. "They shot the ball really well tonight."
Del Negro had 11 points and seven assists off the bench for the
Bucks, who shot 57 percent (38-of-67). Both teams grabbed 30
rebounds.
