A barely recognizable Dallas Mavericks team fell to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday 102 - 95. For one thing, you might have trouble picking some of the new players out of a lineup without seeing the name on the back of their jerseys, and for another, the shorthanded team was noticeably more rambunctious in the first half (and in the last game against Minnesota) than they’ve been at full strength lately.
However, even without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee clearly had the talent advantage in the game and their talent and cohesion won out in the second half.
