MILWAUKEE — This isn't the way the Milwaukee Bucks expected to open a season in which they're trying to bounce back from consecutive first-round playoff exits. The Bucks have lost five straight since winning their season opener at Philadelphia. They're four games below .500 for the first time since March 2017. Their start has been tough enough that they believed they took a small step forward Saturday despite losing the game 114-113 to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Donovan Mitchell's jumper with three-tenths of a second left.
