Things were going along just swell for the Mavericks in the second quarter Saturday night. They had a 10-point lead and were scoring with ease against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Then all of the sudden things went haywire in a hurry.
The Bucks used a 36-12 bombshell bridging the second and third quarters to take charge and ultimately roll to a 132-117 victory at American Airlines Center.
The one-two punch of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo gouged the Mavericks for a combined 57 points and did most of their damage through three quarters, after which the Bucks led 101-79.
