The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Dallas Mavericks 123–99 on March 31 at Fiserv Forum, a decisive 24-point victory that fell well short of the Vegas total of 231.5. R. Rollins led Milwaukee with 24 points while K. Kuzma added 20 points, anchoring a Bucks offense that shot 44.6 percent from the field and made 20 three-pointers. Dallas struggled significantly, connecting on just 10 threes while shooting 35.4 percent overall; C. Flagg paced the Mavericks with 19 points and B. Williams contributed 18. The Bucks controlled the game through a dominant first quarter (38 points) and maintained their edge despite a late Dallas rally in the fourth. Milwaukee's defensive rating of 91.4 proved suffocating, while Dallas's defensive rating of 114.5 reflected their inability to contain the home team. The Mavericks' 12 steals could not compensate for their offensive inefficiency and 14 turnovers. This lopsided result underscores Milwaukee's defensive prowess and raises questions about Dallas's consistency as the season progresses.
