Dallas Mavericks: Remembering when Kristaps Porzingis led them to a win over Bucks

The Dallas Mavericks traveled to Milwaukee back in December. The Bucks had won 18 straight games coming and had the best record in the NBA. Dallas lost Luka Doncic to a sprained ankle in the previous game. Most experts were giving Dallas no chance entering the contest.

It turned into one of the team’s best moments of the season. The Mavs scored early and often en route to a 36-point first quarter. Jalen Brunson got the start in place of Doncic and ran the offense well. The second-year guard finished with 13 points and 11 assists. Kristaps Porzingis took over as the leading scorer by producing 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks.

It did not stop there, though. Let us take a closer look back at one of the Mavericks’ best moments of the 2019-2020 season.
