NBA Cavs get smoked by Bucks, 102-88

A 14-0 run in the third and fourth quarters spurred Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Michael Redd scored 28 points and Keith Van Horn had 22 points and 14 rebounds to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat Cleveland 102-88 in their home opener Saturday night. LeBron James scored 31 points for Cleveland, winless in three games this season. Jeff McInnis added 16 points and Drew Gooden had 12 for the Cavs.
Van Horn and Mo Williams pulled the Bucks back into the game when they sparked a 14-0 run at the third quarter and beginning of the fourth.
Van Horn hit two 3-pointers and a basket and Williams, who had 11 assists, added four points as the Bucks took an 82-70 lead with 10:11 left.
ZaZa Pachulia gave the Bucks their biggest lead in the game with two free throws that made it 96-78 with 4:03 left.
Poor foul shooting
The Cavaliers hurt their chances by missing 16 free throws, while the Bucks missed only four.
James shook off a hard fall and scored 12 points in the second quarter, including five during a 10-0 run as the Cavaliers ended the second with a 51-47 lead.
James landed awkwardly on his left ankle on a drive to the basket early in the second. He stayed down briefly, but then walked grimacing in pain to the foul line where he missed both shots. Cleveland scrambled for the rebound and James tapped it in.
The Bucks are playing without point guard T.J. Ford, still recovering from neck surgery performed last May.
"There's never been a timetable," Bucks coach Terry Porter said, addressing a report that Ford would be out at least two months."
Notes
Cavaliers reserve forward Scott Williams started the second quarter and played 11 minutes. He left Thursday's game with an injured right pinky. ... The Bucks signed F Marcus Fizer, a free agent, on Nov. 4 despite the fact he is recovering from a knee injury. Porter speculated that Fizer is four to six weeks away from returning to action. ... Bucks C Dan Gadzuric, who started 30 games as a rookie in 2002-03 but none last season, made his second consecutive start this season.
