Here are our next-day observations about the Mavericks' first win of the season, an 86-75 victory over Milwaukee on Sunday night in advance of a four-game road trip.
Overwhelming overtime: The Mavericks limited Milwaukee to 47 points in the final three quarters of regulation. It was a great show of defense. Then they did even better in the overtime. The Bucks got just one point in the extra five minutes. They missed all four of their shots -- all of which came from 3-point range. They had five turnovers, including their first three possessions of bonus time.
