But the Bucks also shot 35 free throws to Dallas' 25 and blocked six shots. They could've taken more advantage on the inside, but Damian Lillard and Gary Trent Jr. were doing just fine on the outside.

Dallas enters a matchup against Milwaukee as winners of four games in a row at home. Saturday's matchup is the first this season for the two squads.
Against the Mavericks, the two-time MVP took advantage of numerous double teams. Plus, Trent has been productive off the bench.
