LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) -- Jason Terry scored 15 points, including a 40-foot 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer, as the Dallas Mavericks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 105-79 in an exhibition game Friday night.

The Mavericks showed how much of a gap there is between a perennial playoff team and a work in progress like the Bucks, who have a new coach, new general manager and 13 new players on the 19-man roster.

Dallas, with owner Mark Cuban in attendance, led by five after the first quarter, then opened up a 47-27 lead at the half on Terry's buzzer-beater. Terry was 6-of-8 on field-goal attempts.

Dirk Nowitzki added 11 points in 18 minutes for Dallas (3-0). Jerry Stackhouse also hit for 11 points for the Mavericks, who led as many as 25 points, 69-44, in the third quarter.

Andrew Bogut scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 28 minutes for the Bucks (0-3).

Ramon Sessions led the Bucks with 11 points, while Luc Mbah a Moute added 10 in 33 minutes of action. Richard Jefferson, acquired in an offseason trade with New Jersey for Bobby Simmons and Yi Jianlian, scored nine points.

A crowd of 4,289 turned out for the game at the La Crosse Center.
