Bucks: Williams, Milwaukee top Cavs once again
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Cleveland coach Mike Brown has seen enough of Mo Williams and the Milwaukee Bucks for this season.

Williams scored 29 points and had 13 of Milwaukee's 26 assists, and the Bucks snapped a six-game losing streak with a 108-98 victory over the Cavaliers on Saturday night.

Williams had four points and six assists in the first quarter, 12 points and five assists in the third, and 11 points and one assist in the fourth to lead the Bucks past the Cavaliers for the third time in the four-game season series.

"We got our behinds kicked," Brown said after his team gave up 100 points or more for the sixth straight road game. "I'm glad we don't play those guys 82 times because Mo Williams may be the all-time greatest player ever, if we did."

Williams was 10-for-12 from the free throw line and had one turnover.

"He's an excellent player, but against us he has more than our number," Brown said.

Nobody on Cleveland could stop or keep up with Williams as he raced up and down the court. Brown even faulted himself for not finding a way to slow him down.

"It started with me," Brown said. "I was at a loss on how to stop him."

LeBron James scored 29, Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 20 and Wally Szczerbiak 14 as Cleveland failed in its first attempt at going 11 games over .500 this season.

"I give Milwaukee credit," James said. "They dominated us all year."

Michael Redd, who finished with 21 points, and Williams sparked a stretch that bridged the third and fourth quarters and gave Milwaukee a 90-76 lead with 8:24 left to play.

Williams had seven points and a jumper that gave the Bucks a 14-point cushion.

Redd opened the fourth with three straight jumpers.

Williams came in averaging 25 points the first three times the teams met this season.

"He's played pretty well against us all year," James said.

Williams said he would like to see that kind of production more consistently against every opponent.

"I don't think it had to do with who it was or who I was playing against," Williams said. "I just got it going, got to the spots I wanted to get to."
