Everything clicked for Milwaukee today, as they soundly beat Cleveland 100-83. Cleveland looked beaten for most of the afternoon, and the final outcome was in little doubt. "I thought we came out ready to play, but we were just overmatched," said Cleveland coach Bob. "It's kind of demoralizing to lose that way, knowing that you played your best and it wasn't nearly enough." Bob now has the unenviable task of getting his team ready to face another day.

Milwaukee coach Bob couldn't be happier, though. His game plan was executed perfectly, and his players were able to dominate all aspects of the game. "It's great to get a win like this, when everything went according to plan."

Milwaukee was led by Martinez (8 points, 2 steals, a block), Coleman (10 points, 13 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Mitchel (10 points, 10 boards, 2 assists). Cleveland was led by Fanny (14 points, 6 assists, 4 steals), Lipke (17 points, 2 assists, 3 steals), Reeve (10 points, 12 boards, 2 assists).

Milwaukee have won their last 12 games and improve to 29-9 and 15-4 at home. They hold at #1 in the Central and stay at #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland stand at 18-21. They remain at #4 in the Central and hold at #8 overall in the Eastern Conference.
