The Cleveland Cavaliers closed out the season behind Kevin Love’s big game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have finished the regular season with a record of 44-38, with a final score of 133-115 over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks didn’t play any of their starters in earnest, with Jrue Holliday getting a few seconds of in-game time so he can collect a bonus and everyone else sitting out. There was an Antetokounmpo in the lineup, but it wasn’t Giannis, but Thanasis. Despite his involvement, the Bucks stood little chance against the Cavs.

Cleveland played most of its starters through the first half, and even into the third, before letting the reserves and bench players finish out the game.

The analysis of this game isn’t important. No one got hurt, and that’s what matters. They look to secure a playoff spot on Tuesday, as they’ll travel to Brooklyn to face the Nets. If they win, they’re the seventh seed in the playoffs and get the Boston Celtics. If they lose, they’ll face the winner of the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks play-in game, with the winner of that facing the Miami Heat.
