Bucks topple Cavs; James rests

Basketball Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Jennings led five Milwaukee players in double figures with 25 points on 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, as the Bucks took down the Cleveland Cavaliers, minus LeBron James, 92-85, at the Bradley Center.

James was given the night off to rest and the Bucks took advantage by winning for the ninth time in 10 games.

Carlos Delfino added 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Luc Mbah a Moute tallied 10 points and 11 boards for the Bucks, who have won three in a row. Andrew Bogut added 15 points and nine boards.

Antawn Jamison led all scorers with 30 along with 11 rebounds, and Delonte West scored 27 for the Cavaliers, who lost for the first time in seven outings.

"I think defensively we did pretty well," Jamison said. "We definitely missed some (opportunities) on the offensive end. The way (James) is able to create easy opportunities for his teammates, it took us awhile to get things going in the right direction."

Milwaukee started the final frame up 69-61 and traded baskets with the Cavs before extending the margin to 15 at 80-65 on a Jennings three-pointer with 7:38 to go. The Cavaliers would cut the deficit to eight multiple times, with the last coming on a West hook shot with 1:23 remaining, but the Bucks kept trading baskets before allowing a Danny Green triple to end the game.

"When we had to get stops and a rebound, we did," said Bucks coach Scott Skiles. "We had a lot of guys chipping in."

The Bucks got off to an 8-2 run to start the night as Mbah a Moute scored six of the team's first eight points. Milwaukee's first quarter lead extended to 11 at 25-14, when Ersan Ilyasova drained a bucket with less than a minute left.

Cleveland came out strong in the second, mounting a 19-6 run that ended with the Cavaliers maintaining a 33-31 lead with 6:35 left. Jamison and West combined for all of the 19 points in the stretch. The Bucks took back the lead at 39-37 after a Delfino three-pointer, but Mo Williams drained a jumper with five seconds left to give Cleveland a 42-41 halftime lead.

In the third, Milwaukee jumped out to a 13-point advantage at 58-45 on a Jennings jumper, but finished the quarter leading by eight as Jamison scored eight points in the final three plus minutes to slightly trim the deficit to eight.

Game Notes

The Bucks are 15-4 in their last 19 games...Cleveland dropped to 23-7 in 2010...The Cavs converted on just 7-of-22 three-pointers.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
