Love takes Cavs past Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a huge night for the Milwaukee Bucks, as he scored 40 points along with nine rebounds and three assists.
It was, however, in a losing cause as Kevin Love’s 32 points, backed up by 30 from LeBron James and 20 from J. R. Smith, saw Cleveland Cavaliers past the Bucks, 124-119, for a 5-6 win-loss record this season.

Unfair to target Dhoni: Kohli
Following their six-run victory in the rain-curtailed eight-over-a-side third and final T20 at Thiruvananthapuram, which helped them seal the series 2-1 against New Zealand, India skipper Virat Kohli came out vocally in support of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Experts and critics have targeted Dhoni following his recent poor showing, especially in the second T20 at Rajkot. Kohli made it absolutely clear that Dhoni has the backing of the team and himself, adding that he is contributing to the side in every manner possible.
