The Mavericks lost to the Bucks 114-116 at home.

After the game, No. 1 pick Flagg was interviewed. Talking about the key mistake in the last round when he was pulled off his clothes, he said: "I think this is undoubtedly a learning moment. You know, although I haven't experienced this kind of moment very often, but I think this is a lesson that can be learned in the future. At the end of the game, I don't want to let them (referees) make the decision. Win or lose. So I must know that there must be physical confrontation. They are a physical confrontation team, so we must stay focused and go all out to grab the ball at all costs."

Flagg made 9 of 15 three-pointers in this game and scored 26 points, 7 of 10 free throws, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
