The Milwaukee Bucks edged the Cleveland Cavaliers 118–116 on February 25 at Fiserv Forum in a defensive stalemate that finished well below the 220.5-point Vegas total. K. Porter Jr. led Milwaukee with 20 points while R. Rollins added 18, as the Bucks shot 54.5 percent from the field and made 19 three-pointers to overcome Cleveland's balanced attack. Jarrett Allen paced the Cavaliers with 27 points and Dennis Schröder contributed 26, but Cleveland's 12 made threes proved insufficient despite out-rebounding Milwaukee 44–36. The Bucks' third quarter (31 points) proved decisive, helping them maintain control down the stretch despite both teams recording nearly identical offensive ratings above 123. Milwaukee's 28 assists and 13 turnovers compared favorably to Cleveland's 28 assists and 11 turnovers in a tightly contested affair. The two-point margin underscores how closely matched these Eastern Conference contenders remain heading into the stretch run.
