(SportsNetwork. Nic Petan Jersey .com) - The Dallas Mavericks had a five-game winning streak snapped last time out, but theyll try to get back into the winners circle Sunday evening when the Milwaukee Bucks pay a visit to American Airlines Center. The Mavs fell at home to the Phoenix Suns Friday night, 118-106. Dallas was done in by a terrible first quarter which saw the team allow 40 points. The Suns shot 69.6 percent from the field in the first quarter en route to a 13-point lead. When you start out giving up a 40-point first quarter, youre just not ready to play defensively. I take responsibility for the effort, said head coach Rick Carlisle. I have got to get these guys more ready to play than I did. Monta Ellis ended with 33 points for the Mavericks, who have lost two of three at home. Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons each had 15 points, with Chandler also pulling down 18 boards. Dirk Nowitzki returned from a one-game absence with a back issue and only managed 10 points on 2-for-10 shooting. Devin Harris also scored 10 in the defeat. Dallas leads the NBA in scoring at 110.0 ppg, but is 23rd in opponents scoring. The Mavericks have allowed 100-plus points in seven straight and 10 of their last 12. The Bucks will try to avenge a home loss to the Mavericks on Wednesday, the game Nowitzki sat out. Dallas prevailed by two when Ellis hit the game-winner as time expired. That was Milwaukees third consecutive setback, but it bounced back on Friday with a 109-85 home drubbing of the Miami Heat. Kendall Marshall scored 20 points to lead the Bucks past the four-time defending Eastern Conference champions. Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton each scored 14 points for the Bucks, who have won two of their last three on the road. Jerryd Bayless scored 11 of his 12 points in the third quarter for the Bucks, who turned a tight game into a nine-point lead going into the fourth with a 13-2 run that came mostly at the foul line. The Bucks then outscored Miami 29-14 in the fourth, leading by double-digits all the way after Middletons jumper to open the quarter. They shot better than 64 percent in the quarter and over 56 for the game. Our guys shared the ball and knocked down shots, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. The Mavs have now won four straight against the Bucks and nine of the last 12 encounters. The two squads have split the last four meetings in Dallas, but the Mavs hold a 9-2 advantage since 2003.

ATLANTA -- The Cincinnati Reds placed catcher Devin Mesoraco on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, and injured closer Aroldis Chapman made a "big step" in his recovery from facial fractures. Mesoraco hurt his hamstring while scoring from second in Friday nights 5-4 loss at Atlanta. Chapman was hit by a line drive during an exhibition game on March 19, breaking his nose and a bone above his left eye. The left-hander looked strong while throwing 43 pitches in batting practice before Saturday nights game against the Braves. The session was divided into two "innings," separated by a five-minute break. It was Chapmans second time throwing batting practice and his first without a protective screen in front of the mound. He is scheduled to throw another simulated game on Tuesday in Cincinnati before beginning a rehab stint in the minors. "I think it was a big step today to throw without a protective screen for the first time since the incident happened," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "I thought it was a big step, and if one more outing makes him feel physically and mentally more prepared to face hitters in a game situation, thats great." Chapman said he is still regaining the stamina he needs to feel ready for games. "I think everything weent well," Chapman said through a translator. Kyle Connor Jersey. "I dont feel physically the same way I was feeling in spring training but I believe with a little work I will be in the physical shape that I want to be." Chapman said he wasnt worried about throwing without the protective screen normally used in batting practice. "Actually, Im really positive," he said. "Since everything that happened to me, Ive been really positive. I didnt have a bad thought that this could happen again, that I could have any trauma to my head again." Price said he does not think Chapman will need a long stay in the minors. "I hate to put a number on it because that would be reckless, but after we send him out I dont think it will be much more than a week," Price said. Right-hander Jonathan Broxton has four saves as the fill-in closer. Third baseman Todd Frazier was held out of the lineup after leaving Friday nights game with tightness in his left leg. Price said Frazier probably could have started if needed. The Reds recalled catcher Tucker Barnhart from Triple-A Louisville to play behind Brayan Pena. Neftali Soto is making his first career start at third base against the Braves. Barnhart, Soto and Ramon Santiago took turns in the batters box against Chapman.
