Doc Rivers seeks first win with the Milwaukee Bucks against the Dallas Mavericks
The Bucks are winless under new coach Doc Rivers, losing two straight games to start a five-game road trip. Tonight's matchup between the Bucks against the Mavericks is the third straight road game in which Rivers seeks his first win with the Bucks.
The Bucks started the trip with a 113-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets and then lost 119-116 again against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The matchup against Portland also marked the homecoming of former Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard since being traded to the Bucks last year. The Trail Blazers were able to successfully prevent 'Dame-Time' in the matchup, causing Lillard to miss out on the cherry on top of his homecoming.
Milwaukee is now 2-3 since the firing of coach Adrian Griffin. The Bucks went 2-1 under interim coach Joe Prunty, and despite the two-game slump, they remain in second place in the Eastern Conference with a 32-16 record.
