In Cleveland, the Bucks edged the Cavaliers 105-97. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bucks. Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bucks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
