The Milwaukee Bucks got the best of Luka Doncic and Co. in tonight?s game. It was a clash of two of the most skilled superstar duos in the league, and Milwaukee?s duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard came out on top. Lillard wreaked havoc on the Mavericks, scoring 27 points and 12 assists in the game. His co-star Giannis Antetokounmpo also had an incredible 40-point and 14-rebound performance, contributing to the win.

The Bucks nullified Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving?s amazing performance as the duo combined for 74 points in the loss. Here are 3-key takeaways from the thrilling encounter as the Mavericks choke in the clutch to lose to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

1. Giannis and Lillard are starting to figure things out

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard joined forces this summer, creating one of the most dominant duos in league history. But they have taken some time to build chemistry and learn how to play together. All of Giannis and Lillard?s best performances this season have taken place when one of the two stars is not playing. However, tonight?s performance against Luka Doncic and Co. has shown that Giannis and Dame have started to figure things out. They had one of their best games as a duo so far, combining for 67 points to lead their team to victory. Milwaukee was down by 9 points to start the 4th quarter, but Giannis and Dame?s heroics on the court led to a thrilling comeback for the Bucks. If the duo continues to dominate like they did tonight, the Bucks will be hard to stop.

2. Luka and Kyrie are an underrated duo

Even though the Dallas Mavericks lost tonight?s game, the historic performance of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving was something the Mavs fans can be happy about. Luka nearly scored a triple-double with 35 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists. And Kyrie put up a massive 39-point performance. The duo has led the Mavs to a 9-4 record to start the season, and they are currently one of the best teams in the Western Conference. But Luka and Kyrie are not being talked about enough as compared to other superstar duos in the league. Maybe it is because they have stayed away from the drama and focused more on winning games.
