Finale

The Bucks made beating the Detroit Pistons harder than it should’ve been on Friday night, and the same thing might happen against Dallas. The Mavericks are not great this season, but they always have one edge.

Rick Carlisle is a fantastic coach. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves because casual fans have forgotten the Mavericks exist, but Carlisle makes this team better than it probably actually is on a yearly basis.

The Bucks will have to be on their A game to get a win on Sunday, no matter Dallas’ poor record. A slow game could make things dicey for the Milwaukee Bucks.
