🔥 Enjoy the full game highlights from July 12, 2025 NBA Summer League, as the Cleveland Cavaliers overcame the Milwaukee Bucks 93–83.
Nae’Qwan Tomlin led the Cavs with 22 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists & 2 steals, anchoring their offense and defense
Jaylon Tyson added 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists & 2 blocks, while Tyrese Proctor chipped in 12 points and 5 rebounds
For Milwaukee, Chris Livingston posted 21 points, 9 boards & 5 assists, and Jamaree Bouyea had 20 points & 4 steals, but Bucks faltered after a dominant 19‑0 Cavs run in Q2
00:00No question. It was a blown 16-point lead though for the Cavs. They feel like they're going to be better today starting lineups on the court and we are underway here from Vegas. Game 2. Cavaliers out there for the Cavs in the red jerseys. We get our first look at Chris Livingston getting things going. For the Cavaliers it'll be Omir Tyson project. Seven minutes of action on Thursday. Scored seven points.
00:27Chris Porter is an undrafted player who will be with the squad next year in Game 2. Had to shake off the rust on Thursday. Good interior passing. Omir gets rejected by Bouye. And now putting it up in Omir no. Larry would be proud of his brother. Livingston. Chris Livingston who tied for a team high 18 has a quick bye.
00:57To start things. Got to be able to take care of the basketball. He had 12 assists chanting the other night. But turnovers is what led to them blowing that 16-point lead. Right back the other way. It's Livingston. He has scored all. Oh. Tyson knocks it down.
01:12I saw him last year. He looks a different player this year. Just against Denver the other night. Bucs coming off. There's first round exit in the playoffs to Indiana.
01:24There is Bouye again. Looking for Livingston. He drives on Tomlin. The strip comes up from Proctor and he'll take it down the court.
01:32Over to Omir. Norchat. Omir. At 17-9 in the loss on Thursday.
01:40Tabs doing a good job of running the court. Bouye steps back.
01:44Oh my lord. He has no respect at that point.
01:48As Bouye steps back and forces up another three. That comes up short.
01:52But it comes out to Bouye. 14 on the clock. Bouye knocks Sayon his second three.
01:57But Naquan Smith. Naquan Tomlin. Pardon me.
02:01I like Cleef. Okay. I like Cleef. I think they've been through enough turmoil.
02:05Bouye comes up with the steal. And rises up and lays it in.
02:09He might have 40 tonight.
02:10Tabs have committed five turnovers. No miscue so far for Milwaukee.
02:14There's Andre Jackson, the defensive specialist.
02:17Ryan.
02:18That is Mark Kovic.
02:21Bogolo Mark Kovic who just checked in.
02:24Noel.
02:27Jalen Tyson. Nine on the shot clock.
02:29Got the mismatch.
02:30Tyson fiddles into a double team.
02:32And gives it up. Great speed.
02:35On Aruna.
02:38That's going to fit in with what we're trying to do and fit around Giannis.
02:41And most teams aren't just going to go hand you exactly the piece that you want.
02:46Tyrese Proctor from downtown.
02:48Knocking down the three.
02:49Bucs have a foul to give.
02:56Proctor.
02:57Step back.
02:57Looking for a second three.
02:59Got it.
03:03Livingston.
03:04Three seconds.
03:05Livingston.
03:06On the left.
03:07Right side for Williams.
03:09Who beats the buzzer.
03:10Shooter's paradise.
03:12Yeah.
03:12I like a big man that can shoot that thing.
03:15That's the same exact spot that Bouye hit the game winner the other night.
03:19Talk about the hot hang.
03:20Knock down those two threes.
03:21How you feeling about yourself so far?
03:23Yeah.
03:23Feeling good.
03:23Just taking the right shots.
03:24Teammates are finding me.
03:25What have you learned so far now having a couple days of NBA summer league under your belt?
03:29Yeah.
03:29Just play at your pace.
03:30Don't let nobody speed you up and just play your game.
03:32And draft night.
03:33You get drafted in the second round.
03:34They bless you with your contract.
03:35How did that make you feel coming into the NBA?
03:36You have a contract already.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Great.
03:38Just got that chip on my shoulder and continue to have it.
03:40Keep doing what you do.
03:40Appreciate you.
03:41Tyree's points.
03:43He remains on the court.
03:45Milwaukee led in the first by as many as nine.
03:48Perhaps turn it over.
03:50Bouye gets the lay-in.
03:51So that is turnover number eight.
03:54These are very careless turnovers.
03:56Just, if they would just make crisp passes, it would, I'd be winning the game.
04:03This is a frantic pace here, but not much offense.
04:07Good backdoor cut.
04:08This is crazy.
04:09This is crazy.
04:10Yes.
04:11Man, it's, you would not even assume to pick anybody up full court, but with today's athlete, it's almost like you have to.
04:19Yeah.
04:19They play really hard for their six or seven minutes on the court because they know that their backup is coming in and it's going to do the same exact thing.
04:26And that's the point you're making, Shannon, that now every guy understands that you can bring something to the table.
04:31You don't have to play 25 minutes a night.
04:33He played really good for 37 minutes and then fell apart for the final three minutes of the game.
04:37So they need those three minutes to be more crisp today.
04:39Good backdoor cut by Niang.
04:40We're worse.
04:41Oh, what a play by Niang.
04:43My boy's good.
04:46Good pass, Tom.
04:47Omir.
04:48Good play.
04:49We've seen Omir do it.
04:50We thought on the defensive end he got whistled for the blocking foul.
04:54Do we have to find some mental toughness?
04:57I think so.
04:57But these, this is watching Naquan, sidestep, lay, and they're getting it in.
05:02They're getting it in the weight room.
05:03Great put back there by Alatishe, who's getting his first run.
05:10He's building the leap to win in, and you beat him.
05:13We were so locked in, it was almost psychotic.
05:16And beats the shot clock.
05:18Okay, they're working on the jumper.
05:20Milwaukee gets something going after a drought where they didn't score.
05:23You just don't feel him out here.
05:25He just got that tip back to Livingston.
05:27Bouye on the three.
05:28Pure.
05:29As soon as I say that, he does something.
05:31As I'm staring you in the eyes.
05:33He is athletic, though.
05:35Yes, he is.
05:38Down low to Omir, gets the lay-in for Cleveland.
05:40They're now up 47.
05:42George became one of the best three-point shooters in the game in the last couple of years.
05:45Correct.
05:45Here's Tyson, turns it over for the Cavaliers.
05:47That is their 12th turnover of the game.
05:50With Miles Turner, and the big question here for Channing Frye is,
05:53what is Miles Turner wearing?
05:55We will reveal that answer to you coming up here in a few moments.
05:58Bucs turnover, here comes Cleveland.
06:00Omir to Niang, thinks about the three.
06:02Kicks it back.
06:04Tyson.
06:06Tomlin, the putback.
06:07Wow.
06:08That's a rebound and a half.
06:10Tomlin now with six.
06:11Yeah, but if you're watching the game, obviously, as everyone is,
06:14he's making such a big impact other ways.
06:17And he's not pressuring himself to...
06:19I know he had 30 the other night.
06:21Proctor, nice in-and-out dribble there.
06:23Gets it inside.
06:25Omir working on Nance.
06:26Good help side defense.
06:28Tomlin, right place, right time.
06:30Tomlin now has eight points, eight rebounds, and he'll go to the free throw line.
06:35His activity, his wherewithal...
06:38She made a deal, Dennis, with her son.
06:40You make it to the NBA, I will tattoo your jersey number on my body.
06:44Oh, wow.
06:46So guess who has a new tattoo?
06:47Uh-oh.
06:48Good for mom.
06:49Chris Livingston knocks it down.
06:51Bouye comes away with the steal.
06:53Back pass.
06:54Behind the back pass.
06:55And they can't convert.
06:57Cleveland has it.
06:58Definitely.
06:58The stuff that went down there, but I think he has a vision for me, man.
07:01And, you know, I think it's, again, it's a seamless.
07:04I think my last question, just about Indiana, was there one moment...
07:08Oh, my goodness.
07:09Big time rise and throw down by Tristan Onaruna.
07:13Was this run, two-year, ten years, your all-time favorite memory?
07:18We can transition and rebound, man.
07:19We got to check.
07:21Here with Donovan Mitchell, let's just get your quick thoughts on some of these guys here on this roster.
07:26Craig Porter, Jr. is out with a hamstring today.
07:28Jalen Tyson, and that's Naquan Tomlin, who continues to shine.
07:37Here's Livingston on the strong take.
07:40So an eight-point game.
07:43Full-court pressure put on by the Bucs.
07:47It nearly comes up with a steal.
07:48First win out here in Vegas.
07:49Naquan Tomlin has been the real standout for the Cavaliers over their first two games.
07:54Tomlin has it, going up strong, and Tomlin completes the three-point play, and that should close the door.
08:01Tomlin doing it all for the Cavaliers.
08:04And his passion for this game has shown that he can go out here and get some buckets.
08:08Chris Livingston, contested by Tomlin.
08:11He'll get the bucket and the foul.
08:13Not done just yet.
08:14By the way, just want to give you a quick heads up for what's coming.
08:17Some full-court pressure.
08:18Livingston, who's tied to the team leading in scoring the other night, has 21.
08:27So once again, the leading scorer.
08:30Tyler Smith at the buzzer, and that'll do it.
