4-game skid
MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Ryan Rollins had 24 points, seven rebounds and nine assists,
Kyle Kuzma added 20 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Dallas Mavericks
123-99 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
Milwaukee (30-45), which had lost 14 of its last 17 games overall, won its
eighth straight meeting with the Mavericks.
The Bucks led 65-51 at the break behind 17 points from Rollins and 16 by Kuzma.
Milwaukee made 11 of its first 22 3-pointers of the second half to take control.
A Rollins jumper with 6:26 left in the fourth gave Milwaukee a 31-point lead at
115-84.
AJ Green added 17 points off the bench for Milwaukee. Gary Trent Jr. added 13
points, Pete Nance scored 11 and Myles Turner 10.
Cooper Flagg, who entered averaging 22.5 points over his last nine games, had
19 points and 10 rebounds for his 12th double-double of the season for Dallas
(24-52). Brandon Williams scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half, and
John Poulakidas scored a season-high 11.
Dallas starter Daniel Gafford left the game with just under three minutes left
in the third after appearing to injure his right elbow attempting to block a
Rollins dunk. Williams and Dwight Powell started the second half in place of
Gafford and Ryan Nembhard.
The Mavericks have lost their last four trips to Milwaukee and five of the last
six.
The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 25, but was postponed when the
Mavericks could not get out of Dallas because of a snowstorm.

Mavericks: Host the Orlando Magic on Friday.
Bucks: At Houston on Wednesday.
