JAKARTA - The Milwaukee Bucks managed to score a dramatic win against Dallas Mavericks with a final score of 129-117 at the American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas, on Sunday, February 4. Bucks managed to overcome a 25-point gap in the match.

Giannis Antetokounmpo performed outstanding by scoring 48 points and providing 10 assists, becoming the main contributor to Bucks' victory. Meanwhile, Mavericks' points machine, Luka Doncic, also played brilliantly by recording 40 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds.

This victory was the first for the Bucks under the direction of their new coach, Doc Rivers, who previously suffered two defeats in their first two games. Bucks decided to fire the previous coach, Adrian Griffin, in the middle of the season.

Damian Lillard also played a big role in the Bucks' win by scoring 30 points, saving the second-largest comeback of the season for Milwaukee. This isn't the first time the Bucks have won after falling big, before they also managed to turn things around as 26 points behind Portland in November 2023.

Damian Lillard's impressive performance can be seen from the accuracy of the shot which reached 90.9 percent, 10 shots were successful from 11 attempts. He was also perfect in scoring 5 tripoin shots and 5 free throws.

This victory not only confirmed the Bucks' position on the board of the standings, but also ensured that coach Doc Rivers and his staff would coach the Eastern Region team in the 2024 NBA All-Star match on 18 February.

Despite Kyrie Irving being absent for the sixth time in a row from injury, the Bucks are still able to show impressive performance. Mavericks, on the other hand, will continue their match against Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, while the Bucks will face the Utah Jazz tomorrow.
