In a commanding performance, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 32 points, eclipsing 20,000 career points, while Damian Lillard added 34 points in the Milwaukee Bucks' 137-107 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. This marks Antetokounmpo as the 52nd player to reach this milestone, joining elite company such as LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Additionally, Kevin Porter Jr. notched a triple-double off the bench, contributing significantly to the win.

The Bucks capitalized on the Mavericks' depleted roster due to injuries, including Kyrie Irving's recent ACL tear, making it a one-sided contest. Milwaukee's efficient play allowed key players like Antetokounmpo and Lillard to rest, sitting out the final quarter of the game. This victory was the Bucks' eighth in nine games, showing their resilience despite earlier struggles without Bobby Portis.
