The Dallas Mavericks found a new, horrendous way to lose, falling to the Milwaukee Bucks at home Friday night, losing 106-105. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 28 points after shaking off a rough start. Luka Doncic led the Mavericks in defeat with 33. The Mavericks shot an atrocious 10 of 24 from the free throw line, including a mindbogglingly awful 7 of 15 in the fourth quarter.
The two teams exchanged leads early, with the Mavericks bombing from beyond the arc and the Bucks attacking the paint relentlessly. After the Bucks took an 11-10 lead off a Grayson Allen and-one, the Mavericks rattled off an 8-0 run forcing a Milwaukee timeout.
