My teammates have a lot of confidence in me and when I was able to get into a good rhythm, the basket got bigger and bigger.Dallas played without starters Dirk Nowitzki (right Achilles soreness) and Deron Williams (left calf strain).J.J.

I like to play defense.SLOWING DOWN THE BUCKSMilwaukee had scored 117 or more points in three consecutive games for the first time since February 2009. But the Mavericks held the Bucks to 75 by taking away the two things they like to do most -- score in the paint and on the fast break. The Bucks had only 28 points in the paint, less than half their season average of 57, and managed just 12 points in transition as Dallas often used the entire shot clock on offense.We couldnt find stops, Parker said. When we find stops we are able to go out in transition. They eliminated that by playing the clock out.UP NEXTBucks: Host the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon feels his team reached an important regular-season milestone. Yunel Escobar and Ben Zobrist homered during a three-run seventh inning and the surging Rays improved to a season-high 10 games over .500 by beating the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Monday night. "The thing I like is that were 10 games over," Maddon said. "Youve got to go to 10, then youve got to go to 15, etc., etc. The major takeaway from tonight is the fact that were 10 games over. Were playing, probably, our best baseball right now." Escobar had a leadoff tiebreaking homer in the seventh off Samuel Deduno (4-4), who departed after Desmond Jennings followed with a triple. Caleb Thielbar entered and got one out before Zobrist gave Tampa Bay a 6-3 lead with a two-run shot. "Were always ready to jump on an opportunity," Tampa Bay right fielder Wil Myers said. "That just shows what kind of team we are, and capable of those kind of things. I think thats big going down the stretch." Alex Torres (3-0) pitched a perfect seventh for the Rays, who have won nine of 10. Escobar also had a sacrifice fly in the eighth. "Weve been playing well," Maddon said. "Pitching well, catching the ball on defence and not expanding our strike zone. I just like the fact that were showing kind of a comeback mentality right now." Fernando Rodney got the final two outs to pick up his 20th save after an RBI single by Pedro Florimon off Jamey Wright. Justin Morneau homered for the Twins, who have lost eight of nine. Deduno gave up five runs and 10 hits over six-plus innings. Thielbar had not allowed a run in his first 17 appearances during his rookie season before Zobrists homer. After Brian Dozier hit a third-inning RBI double, the Twins took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when Morneau had a solo homer and Chris Parmelee added a sacrifice fly off Roberto Hernandez. Minnesota went 4 for 4 with the sac fly during the fourth, but had Oswaldo Arcia thrown out trying to advance to second after hitting a single and Aaron Hicks picked off at first by Rays catcher Jose Molina.dddddddddddd "Guys were trying, but to the pickoff at first base with Hicksy, and Arcia trying to go to second base, silly stuff like that will end up shooting you in the end, and it did," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. Morneau tied Bob Allison for fourth place on the Twins career list with 211 homers. Minnesota loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth, but failed to score when Trevor Plouffe flew out. The Twins went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position through six innings. Roberto Hernandez allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. The right-hander struck out three, walked three and hit a batter. Tampa Bay tied it at 3 in the fifth on Evan Longorias run-scoring single. Luke Scott put the Rays up 1-0 on a first-inning homer. Molina made it 2-0 with an RBI single in the second. Deduno got hit in the leg by James Loneys hard-hit infield single during the second, but stayed in the game. One day after having his career-best 16-game hitting streak ended, Loney had two hits.
