Milwaukee Bucks clinched their fourth straight victory in the NBA 2022-23 regular season fixture on Friday night after defeating Dallas Mavericks by one point at the American Airlines Center.

Apart from him Spencer Dinwiddie (15) and Christian Wood (14) scored the most points for the Mavs. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in scoring with 28 points followed by Khris Middleton with 19 points.
With over three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Luka Doncic stole the ball in his own half and ran swiftly to finish with a bucket as the Mavs managed a 11 point lead to end the third quarter. With his dunk, Doncic posterized Jrue Holiday, who tried to block the 23-year-old guard.
