CLEVELAND, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Carlos Delfino touched off a run to close the first half Friday that launched the Milwaukee Bucks to a 102-88 win over Cleveland.
Cleveland's losing streak reached 15 games and the Cavaliers lost at home for the seventh straight time. Milwaukee has won two in a row following a three-game losing streak.
Delfino made a 3-pointer with 2:16 to go in the second quarter and the Bucks closed the half on a 12-4 surge that gave them a 53-41 lead at the break. The Cavaliers scored only two points during the first 3:15 of the third period and were never a factor in the second half.
Delfino had missed the previous 32 games with a concussion and was playing for the first time since Nov. 6.
Andrew Bogut scored 23 for the Bucks, hitting 11-of-14 from the field. Corey Maggette added 20, Keyon Dooling had 12 and Delfino had nine while playing 23 minutes. The 3-pointer he made to touch off the key run was his only one of the game.
Cleveland was led by Antawn Jamison and Ramon Sessions with 22 each. The Cavaliers have the worst record in the NBA at 8-33.
