Deadspin: Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen lead Cavaliers to first road win over Bucks

Cleveland breaks away in second

Milwaukee held a 25-24 lead after the first quarter, during which Allen scored 10 points and Tyler Herro had nine. Cleveland moved ahead at the start of the second, with guards Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor setting the pace.

Mobley scored 13 points in the quarter as the Cavaliers outscored the Bucks 48-21. Cleveland led 72-46 at halftime, having shot 62.2% in the first two quarters. Its advantage reached 112-76 early in the fourth.

Allen reaches career milestone

Allen scored 19 points in the second quarter and finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds. The former All-Star center recorded his 250th career double-double. Donovan Mitchell added 15 points, while James Harden had 13 points and seven assists. Rookie Meleek Thomas returned after missing one game with right foot soreness and scored 13 points.

Milwaukee drops another game

Kel'el Ware had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee. Herro scored 15 points, making five of 18 shots, as the Bucks lost their second consecutive game. Nate Ament, a first-round pick, scored 14 points on six-of-eight shooting. Kyle Kuzma and Brayden Burries also had 14 points each. Ware and Herro were acquired in the July trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.

Cavaliers improve to four wins

Cleveland is 4-1 since losing its season opener to the Philadelphia 76ers. The win over Milwaukee was its first on the road in three attempts this season. Cavaliers forward Jaylon Tyson missed the game with a sprained right ankle. Only seven Cleveland players had appeared in each of the team's first six games.
