We've got to keep going, he says, after his 39 points over the Bucks for their eighth win
GARLAND CAPS CAVS' 'CRAZY' PERFECT RUN

Darius Garland hailed a "crazy" winning run as he poured in 39 points on Nov 4 to help the Cleveland Cavaliers fend off a late Milwaukee Bucks surge and clinch a 116-114 home victory, pushing their perfect National Basketball Association (NBA) record to 8-0.

He drilled a step-back three-pointer to put Cleveland up 113-111 with 45 seconds to play, then fed Jarrett Allen for a dagger lay-up as the Cavs, who led by as many as 19 in the second quarter, matched the franchise's best start to a season way back in 1976.

"It's hard to get one (win), so eight is crazy," Garland said. "I'm happy we got eight (we've) got to keep this thing going."

The Bucks, with two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo a late scratch with an adductor strain, dropped their sixth straight game, coming up short again after a one-point home loss to the Cavs on Nov 2.

Milwaukee point guard Damian Lillard scored 14 of his 36 points in the third quarter as the Bucks rallied to lead 91-89 going into the fourth.
