James lifts Cavs past Bucks in OT, 114-108
James buried a go-ahead 3-pointer with 24 seconds left in overtime and the Cleveland Cavaliers held on for a 114-108 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night to avenge a late November loss.
Parker was fouled on a layup attempt on the ensuing possession but missed both free throws.
"Jabari took advantage of some of our smaller guys when we had them on him, getting to the basket, kind of being physical," Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said.
The Bucks scored the final seven points of regulation to send it into overtime tied at 100.
Jefferson scored on a baseline drive, but Antetokounmpo made a tip-in to give the Bucks the 108-107 lead with 1:12 left.
The Cavaliers took a 100-93 lead on Irving's 3-pointer with 2:32 left in regulation, but Greg Monroe's inside basket and Tony Snell's 3-pointer cut it to 100-98 with 47 seconds remaining.
After a missed 3-pointer by James, Parker scored on an inside spin move from the left side to tie it at 100 with 15.5 seconds left.
Coming up with loose balls, being able to finish plays on the defensive end and, hopefully, a couple more shots go down for us tomorrow.
James moved past Moses Malone (27,409 points) into eighth place on the NBA career scoring list with his first basket of the game.
