Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 22, 2025

Memphis's third quarter surge proved decisive in this defensive grind at the American Airlines Center. The combined 59 points in Q3—a stark departure from the relatively contained first half (90 combined)—set the tone for the Grizzlies' 102-96 victory. Memphis outscored Dallas 33-26 in that quarter alone, building momentum that Dallas couldn't overcome despite a late push in the fourth.

The first half stayed tight and low-scoring, with just 90 combined points across two quarters of 43 and 47 respectively. Both teams checked in around their season defensive averages; Dallas has allowed 117.7 per game over its last 10, while Memphis has permitted 115.2. The second half exploded to 108 combined points, driven by that explosive third quarter. Dallas clawed back with 23 points in the fourth—enough to stay competitive—but couldn't match Memphis's efficiency earlier.

Santi Aldama led Memphis with 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Cam Spencer added 17 points and 5 assists and Zach Edey dominated the glass with 15 rebounds to go with 12 points. For Dallas, Klay Thompson paced the offense with 22 points, and Brandon Williams chipped in 18 points with 4 assists. The 198 combined total landed well below the market line, as defenses held firm except for that pivotal third-quarter breakdown. This marked a significant reversal from the teams' November meeting, when Memphis won 118-104 on a 222-point total.
