Cavs win number 1 overall pick second straight year

The Cleveland Cavaliers earned the No. 1 overall pick at the NBA draft lottery for the second straight season and third time in four years.

The Milwaukee Bucks had a 25 percent chance of landing the No. 1 pick, the best odds in the lottery, but had to settle for the No. 2 pick.

Since the lottery moved to its present format in 1994, the team with (or tied for) the best odds has won three of the 20 lotteries.

The Cavaliers entered Tuesday night with just a 1.7 percent chance of landing the top overall pick but look to pair their 2014 pick with former No. 1 overall selections Kyrie Irving (2011) and Anthony Bennett (2013).
