The Dallas Mavericks lost 124-115 to the Milwaukee Bucks. This game continued a trend of the Mavericks losing, as they are now under .500. However, this game actually brought some hope as the Mavericks fought despite difficult circumstances and played well at times. The Bucks are an elite team, and the Mavericks were tired from a grueling game the night before.
Both teams came out on fire as they totaled 74 first quarter points, but the Mavericks were on the losing end, down 41-33. The fact that the Mavericks managed to give up 41 points in a quarter that Giannis Antetokounmpo scored only four points in is disturbing.
