The Milwaukee Bucks notched the first double-digit winning streak of the season with a 119-110 road victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Per the Bucks Twitter account, this is Milwaukee's first 10-game win streak since the 1985-86 season.

Sidney Moncrief and Terry Cummings led the Bucks that season atop the Central Division and the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 57-25 record. They eventually made the Eastern Conference Finals, but lost to the eventual champion Boston Celtics via sweep.
It was just another day in the office for Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak led the way with 33 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks.
Milwaukee appeared to be cruising to their 10th straight win with a 22 point lead in the third quarter. However, Cleveland knocked down 10 triples in the quarter to make it a 10-point game heading into the fourth.
The Cavs continued to pour it on and eventually made things a little more interesting when they cut the lead down to as low as three points in multiple occasions down the stretch. However, the Bucks proved to be too much in the end.
After going 2-2 to start the season, the Bucks have since won 14 of their last 16 games. They are now 16-3 on the year, trailing just the 17-2 Los Angeles Lakers in the overall league standings.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks look poised to finally reach the top of the mountain after failing to do so last season. Giannis is having yet another monster campaign to follow-up his 2018-19 MVP season.
Through 19 games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.2 points, 13.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 55.9 percent from the field.
