Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo trade praise after Bucks roll Mavs

MILWAUKEE -- After the Milwaukee Bucks completed a 124-115 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, Mavs star Luka Doncic had some high praise for former two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, calling him the best player in the league.

"It's hard to go against a guy like that," Doncic said. "He's the best player in the NBA right now. He's almost impossible to stop. It's really fun to see him play, but it's not that fun to go against him."

Antetokounmpo's dominance helped the Bucks cruise to victory Sunday in a game they never trailed, blitzing the Mavericks, who were on the second night of a back-to-back, despite 27 points and 12 assists from Doncic.
