The Cleveland Cavaliers ' eight-game winning streak has come to an end. The Milwaukee Bucks got the best of the wine and gold on Wednesday evening and beat them 126-116.

Cavaliers Vs. Bucks Game Highlights

Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show against the Cavaliers. He scored 35 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists recording his second straight triple-double. Giannis didn't play the last time these two teams met up and the Bucks lost by 40 points. Clearly, this is a different team with him on the floor on the Cavs learned that the hard way.

Jarrett Allen continued to make Cavaliers history against the Bucks. He scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds extending his double-double streak to 12 games. This also extends the franchise record that JA set on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.

Donovan Mitchell may have been on the losing side of this one, but he still played a solid overall game nonetheless. Spida scored 23 points, grabbed seven boards, and recorded eight assists. Mitchell's ability to find his teammates has been a real standout in Darius Garalnd's absence. 

The Cavs have relied on their bench a lot with all of the injuries they've had and that production continued against Milwaukee. Georges Niang dropped 14 points, Sam Merrill scored 12 points, Caris LeVert had nine, and Damian Jones contributed five. This just wasn't enough to keep up with as much star power as the Bucks.

This was a tough loss for Cleveland, but there is a silver lining. The Cavaliers take on the Bucks again on Friday night and have a chance to split this two-game set with this Eastern Conference contender.
