Game Recap
Memphis held Dallas to 24 fourth-quarter points en route to a 118–104 victory, a 14-point margin that felt wider than the overall combined total of 222 suggested. The Grizzlies throttled the pace in the final frame after a frenetic first half that produced 125 combined points—driven largely by a second quarter explosion of 67 combined points that set the tenor for much of regulation.
The first 24 minutes favored the home team: Memphis built early with 34 in the opening quarter while Dallas managed just 24, then extended the gap as both teams poured in points during Q2's scoring barrage. But Dallas clawed back in the third, outscoring Memphis 29–28 to trim the margin and keep the game competitive. The Grizzlies' suffocating defensive approach in the fourth—holding the Mavericks to just 24 points—sealed it. Ja Morant orchestrated the Grizzlies with 21 points and 13 assists, while Cedric Coward added 21 points and 9 rebounds. For Dallas, Max Christie led with 18 points, and Naji Marshall chipped in 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. The combined 222 points fell short of typical Memphis-Dallas paces, with the second-half collapse to 97 combined points—driven by that suffocating fourth quarter—the decisive factor in what became a defensive grind.
