Diving deeper into Cavs 136-111 win over Bucks: Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen dominate

The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Milwaukee Bucks inside, leading to a runaway 136-111 victory.

Three stars of the game

First star: Jarrett Allen

25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal

Allen was an absolute force to be reckoned with. He relentlessly attacked the basket by rolling hard to the rim and looking for any opening he could find to make himself available for a pass inside. Defensively, he controlled the paint and cleaned up the glass.

This was the ideal game from Allen.

Second star: Evan Mobley

27 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal

Basically everything I said about Allen could also be said of Mobley. He was aggressive offensively, attacking inside. And when the defense sagged off, he took the outside shot, going 3-for-5 from beyond the arc.

This game was the template from a process and results standpoint for Mobley.

Third star: James Harden

13 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds

Harden spread the ball around and looked to get the bigs involved. It was exactly what the Cavs needed from their starting point guard.

Dud of the game

Bum: Tyler Herro

15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists

Milwaukee’s point-of-attack defense was a mess. Herro wasn’t the only reason to blame for that, but he was the most noteworthy example of someone who wasn’t upholding their end of the bargain. On top of that, Herro struggled to make anything happen as a scorer as he went just 5-for-18 from the field.

Cavaliers who deserve shoutouts

Donovan Mitchell

15 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, +31

Mitchell let the game come to him in a way that he doesn’t always do. He attacked when the moment called for it, and he deferred to his teammates when they had cleaner looks. This led to Mitchell controlling the game without controlling the ball, making room for the dominant performances from the bigs.
