With their four-game winning streak on the line and Dirk Nowitzki sitting out—the Dallas Mavericks managed to pull out a 107-105 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, to cap off their road trip with a bang.
Both teams were mostly neck-and-neck throughout the game, as none of them were willing to let this one go without a fight. Monta Ellis led the way for the Mavericks with 23 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists, while on the other hand Brandon Knight had a game-high of 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Bucks.
However, at the closing seconds of the game—Ellis shined brightest as he nailed a one of a kind, buzzer-beating jumper to extend their winning streak to 5 and send them back to Dallas without any blemish on their road trip.
It’s so beautiful how easy Ellis made this look, but the degree of difficulty was actually tremendous. What a shot.
