The Memphis Grizzlies pulled away for a 124-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks, winning by 19 points behind efficient offense and balanced playmaking. Memphis shot 35-of-61 from the field (57.0%) and hit 12 three-pointers, consistently generating quality looks while finishing possessions with 29 assists.
Dallas kept pace early with solid overall shooting (28-of-56, 50.0%) and won the rebounding battle 46-43, but the Mavericks couldn’t match Memphis from beyond the arc. The Grizzlies’ 12-of-32 performance from three outpaced Dallas’ 9-of-32, and Memphis’ ball movement repeatedly created open perimeter attempts and paint touches that helped build separation.
C. Spencer led all scorers with 25 points for Memphis, setting the tone as the Grizzlies’ offense stayed aggressive throughout. Prosper Olivier-Maxence added 16 points, and Scotty Pippen Jr. chipped in 15 while helping drive Memphis’ 29-assist night. For Dallas, Brandon Williams paced the Mavericks with 16 points, and Daniel Gafford contributed 14 points as Dallas tried to respond with interior production and second-chance opportunities.
The result underscores Memphis’ ability to win with efficiency and distribution, while Dallas will look to improve perimeter accuracy and defensive containment against a high-assist opponent. With both teams showing productive individual performances, the difference ultimately came down to Memphis’ shot-making and sustained offensive execution.
