Oh, victory tastes so, so sweet when it comes in a game the Milwaukee Bucks had no business winning, and doubly so when it comes against ol’ Jason Kidd and his Dallas Mavericks...what a 106-105 win it was.
It was a back-and-forth of silky shooting in the first period, with Luka Doncic pouring in 16 on his own, but the Bucks trailed merely 32-33. Shooting percentages for the Bucks dropped precipitously to start quarter number two, with an 0-9 opening few minutes from the field. They made up for that in spades with a late period spurt coupled with the Mavs going cold from deep, leading to a 52-48 advantage at half for the Bucks.
