MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 Ryan Rollins<\/a> had 24 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, Kyle Kuzma<\/a> added 20 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> beat the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> 123-99 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak. <\/p>\n

Milwaukee (30-45), which had lost 14 of its last 17 games overall, won its eighth straight meeting with the Mavericks. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

A Rollins jumper with 6:26 left in the fourth gave Milwaukee a 31-point lead at 115-84.<\/p>\n

AJ Green<\/a> added 17 points off the bench for Milwaukee. Gary Trent Jr.<\/a> added 13 points, Pete Nance<\/a> scored 11 and Myles Turner<\/a> 10. <\/p>\n

Cooper Flagg<\/a>, 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<\/a> scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half, and John Poulakidas<\/a> scored a season-high 11.<\/p>\n

Dallas starter Daniel Gafford<\/a> 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<\/a> started the second half in place of Gafford and Ryan Nembhard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks have lost their last four trips to Milwaukee and five of the last six. <\/p>\n

The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 25, but was postponed when the Mavericks could not get out of Dallas because of a snowstorm.<\/p>\n
