That nasty cold snap of a few weeks back is a distant memory, but the Mavericks found out Saturday night just what it feels like to have the pipes freeze up.
They were running smooth and easy with a 25-point lead against Milwaukee. And then anything and everything went bad.
The Bucks made up all of that deficit and more with a 38-10 blitz that started late in the second quarter and ran through the latter portion of the third on their way to a 129-117 victory at American Airlines Center.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard outgunning Luka Donu010diu0107 on a night when he actually got quite a bit of help, the Bucks got their first win since Doc Rivers took over on the bench as coach.
