MILWAUKEE - Strong outings by Ersan Ilyasova and Monta Ellis weren’t enough to get a victory. The Milwaukee Bucks blew a 20-point third-quarter lead in a 113-108 loss in Cleveland. That ended Milwaukee’s winning streak at three in a row.

Ilyasova scored 30 points and Ellis had another 21, to go with nine assists and a half-dozen rebounds.

The Bucks led 79-59 in the third period, but Cleveland took over from that point to the end of the game. Milwaukee had built up a big lead with hot shooting from the perimeter and eventually wound up hitting half of its 28 shots from three-point range.
