Bucks Triumph Over Cavaliers as Doc Rivers Set to Take Over as Coach

Antetokounmpo's Triple-Double Performance Leads Bucks to Victory Amidst Coaching Change

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 126-116 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, achieving his third triple-double in his last four games.
  • The Bucks recently fired their coach Adrian Griffin, despite a 30-13 record, and are finalizing negotiations with veteran coach Doc Rivers to take over.
  • Rivers brings over 24 years of coaching experience, having previously led the Boston Celtics to an NBA championship in 2008.
  • Despite the Bucks' strong record, their defense had slipped to 21st in the league, leading to Griffin's dismissal.
  • The Bucks' general manager, Jon Horst, stated the decision to fire Griffin was about maximizing the team's potential and was not related to player comments.
