_____________ Game Notes ____________• The Cavs look to win their fifth straight over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon when they open a three-game road trip. After a 3-3 start, Cleveland (14-5) has turned things around and begins this trip looking to win its fourth straight. The Cavs completed a 3-0 homestand by beating Dallas, Phoenix and Chicago by an average of almost 16 points. James, the Eastern Conference player of the month for November, helped key a 21-4 run Friday after Cleveland fell behind 54-52. He had eight points and three assists during that stretch.• The Cavaliers have limited opponents to an average of 91.4 points over the last seven games and they'll open their trip -- which also includes matchups with Memphis and Houston -- against a Milwaukee team they held to 88.5 while sweeping the four-game season series in 2008-09. James averaged 37.8 points against the Bucks last season, scoring 55 in his last visit to Milwaukee. He hit a career-high eight 3-pointers in the 111-103 victory.• The Bucks (9-9) are looking to avoid losing a third straight and fall below .500 for the first time since opening 1-2. They have dropped six of seven, with five of the losses coming on the road. Milwaukee is coming off a 105-96 defeat at Detroit on Friday. The defense struggled to contain the Pistons, who shot 57.4 percent and outrebounded Milwaukee 46-30.• Milwaukee's opponents are averaging 104.0 points in the last seven and have shot better than 50 percent in four of those games. The Bucks gave up 94.5 points and allowed only three of their first 11 opponents to shoot better than 50 percent. Rookie Brandon Jennings shot 6 of 20 to finish with 15 points against Detroit. He's shooting 30.4 percent over the last seven games. Milwaukee plays four of its next five at home, where it is 7-2. The Bucks also hope to get a boost from the return of coach Scott Skiles, who served a one-game suspension Friday for failing to leave the court in a timely manner after being ejected during Wednesday's 104-102 loss at Washington. _________ Relive The Moment! ________

That is probably the worst start ever. 13-2 run for the Bucks to start the game.

Bogut dribbles into Z and that was a foul on Z? Are you kidding me?

It looks like LeBron is going to play a soft game today.

Andy running the break > Parker running the break.

Our bench has really improved.. I can't believe that we just took the lead.

Not bad.. We go on a 21-6 run to end the first quarter. Leading by 4.

Yeah, it's a shame that Varejao knew how to run the break while Parker took the ball in too low eliminating any passing lanes

Ridnour is straight up with Z and what does he do? Take the contested 3. Not smart basketball.

I just noticed that Moon is out for today.

However, it looks like a good day for West.

The Cavs were down 11 a few minutes ago and now they are up 14.

What a turnaround for this game. Boobie and West providing the energy off the bench after a lackluster effort from the starters.

I think... Maybe it's about time for West to take over the starting spot.

Delonte just scored 14 straight points to start the 2nd.
