Cavs finally discover big-man offensive blueprint in blowout vs. Bucks

Cleveland.com • • sports

Key Points:

  • Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson emphasized the importance of involving big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley more in the offense, which was evident in their dominant performance against the Milwaukee Bucks.
  • Allen scored 25 points and Mobley added 27, spearheading a 136-111 victory highlighted by a 48-point second quarter and a season-high 60 points in the paint for Cleveland.
  • The Bucks, weakened in the frontcourt after trading Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr., struggled defensively inside, allowing the Cavs to exploit their paint defense ranked in the bottom 10.
  • Mobley and Allen, the Cavs' highest-paid players, were given more shot attempts (16 each) while star guards James Harden and Donovan Mitchell reduced their usage to facilitate the frontcourt's involvement.
  • The Cavs aim to make this inside-focused approach a consistent part of their offensive identity, leveraging their frontcourt advantage rather than treating it as a one-game strategy.
