RECAP | BOX SCORE | GAME FLOW

CLEVELAND (AP) _ Bob Sura stripped the ball from former college teammate Sam Cassell with 1.1 seconds remaining Saturday night, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers a 117-112 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Shawn Kemp's two free throws put the Cavs up 114-112 with 6.2 seconds left before the Bucks called a timeout to set up a play. Cassell took the inbounds pass and attempted to drive the right side of the lane on Sura, his backcourt mate while at Florida State.

But Sura didn't allow Cassell to get off a shot, and the ball went out of bounds off the Bucks guard.

Milwaukee was then whistled for technical foul for delay of game and Brevin Knight made the free throw to put Cleveland up 115-112. Knight then made two more free throws in the final second to ice the win.

Sura had 23 points and Brevin Knight had 18 and 12 assists for the Cavs, who outran the NBA's second-highest scoring team. Kemp finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Glenn Robinson led the Bucks with 32 points, but had eight turnovers. Ray Allen and Cassell added 22 points apiece.

But it was Cleveland's bench that was the difference in a game that featured six lead changes and two ties in the final five minutes. The Cavs reserves outscored Milwaukee's 50-25, and Cleveland got big contributions from Andrew DeClercq and Cedric Henderson down the stretch.

Robinson's 3-pointer gave the Bucks 108-105 lead, and with Kemp on the bench after picking up a technical foul, the Cavs looked to be in big trouble.

But DeClercq came in and had a monstrous one-handed dunk followed by a two-hander underneath off a nice pass from Knight to put Cleveland up 109-108 with 2:46 remaining.

However, Cassell answered with a 3-pointer on Milwaukee's next trip.

Henderson's 16-foot jumper put Cleveland back ahead, and after Kemp blocked Cassell's shot down low, Henderson put the Cavs up 112-110 with a free throw.

Allen hit a 10-footer to tie it at 112, but Kemp was fouled on a putback to set up his decisive free throws.

When Allen picked up his fifth foul and went to the bench with the Bucks trailing by 11 in the third quarter, Cassell took it upon himself to bring the Bucks back.

He scored eight points during an 11-2 run capped by Haywoode Workman's 3-pointer from the corner that gave Milwaukee an 83-82 lead after three. It was the Bucks' first lead since 8-6.

Cleveland was unable to carry its momentum into the second half and shot just 27 percent in the third.

Looking to run whenever they could, the Cavs got some easy fastbreak layups in the first half as Milwaukee was slow getting back on defense.

Sura found a slashing Andre Miller with a behind-the-back pass for a layup to give the Cavs a 60-44 lead with 1:26 left before halftime.
