After Action Report
The Bucks squeaked past the Mavericks 124-121. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bucks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Bucks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bucks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
