MILWAUKEE, March 8 (UPI) -- Andre Miller had 31 points and 11 assists and Ricky Davis scored six of his 21 points in overtime Friday night, carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Milwaukee Bucks, 115-109.
Cleveland and Milwaukee alternated baskets in the extra session until Davis hit a jumper with 26 seconds left to make it 111-107. Ray Allen made a layup seven seconds later, but Miller knocked in a pair of free throws with 18 seconds left to give the Cavaliers a four-point cushion.
Glenn Robinson missed a three-pointer and Tyrone Hill closed the scoring with two free throws with eight seconds left.
Robinson had 30 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee (35-26), which missed an opportunity to surpass Detroit (35-25) atop the Central Division. Allen added 20 points, all after halftime.
Wesley Person tallied 18 points and Hill added 16 for Cleveland, which won for the second time this season at the Bradley Center.
After Robinson tied the game, 70-70, with a dunk early in the fourth quarter, Miller hit a jump shot to start a 22-10 run. Davis bookended the burst with another dunk that made it 92-80 with 3:48 remaining.
Milwaukee climbed within 97-96 on a three-pointer by Allen -- his fourth of the quarter -- with 43 seconds left. Miller missed a jumper, but after Allen and Darvin Ham collided going for the rebound, Jumaine Jones dunked to give the Bucks a 99-96 lead with 14 seconds to go.
After Tim Thomas missed a three-pointer, Ham got the rebound and was fouled. But he missed two free throws with four seconds left. Ham ran down the rebound in the left corner, however, and threw up a one-handed fadeaway from the arc at the buzzer that dropped through to send the game into overtime.
