The Memphis Grizzlies delivered a dominant performance Friday night, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 124-105 and pushing the home team’s losing streak at their own arena to seven consecutive games.
Cam Spencer paced Memphis with 25 points, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper recorded his first professional double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Grizzlies received balanced scoring throughout their lineup, with Scotty Pippen Jr. contributing 15 points and both GG Jackson and Jaylen Wells adding 12 points apiece.
Memphis showcased impressive depth, putting seven different players into double-digit scoring while their reserves produced 60 points. Taylor Hendricks provided valuable bench production with 11 points and eight rebounds.
The victory allowed Memphis to end a three-game slide while continuing their recent dominance over Dallas, marking their sixth straight win in the series. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have now dropped 12 of their last 14 contests.
Dallas received solid individual efforts from Brandon Williams, who posted 16 points and eight rebounds, and Daniel Gafford, who shot efficiently for 14 points on 7-of-8 attempts. Dwight Powell recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while Max Christie added 13 points. AJ Johnson managed 12 points despite struggling with his shot, connecting on just 3-of-13 attempts.
Naji Marshall, coming off a season-best 36-point performance against Sacramento on Thursday, was limited to just four points on 2-of-6 shooting in 24 minutes of action.
Memphis controlled the game from start to finish, never surrendering the lead after Pippen scored the first two baskets. The Grizzlies established a 14-point advantage after the opening quarter and stretched their lead to 22 points before intermission, taking a 64-44 advantage into the locker room.
The visitors continued to pull away in the second half, building their largest lead to 34 points late in the third quarter when Spencer converted two free throws with 4:57 remaining in the period.
Both squads were missing key contributors due to injuries. Memphis played their 16th consecutive game without star point guard Ja Morant, who has been sidelined since late January with a left elbow injury. Dallas was without rookie sensation Cooper Flagg, who remains out with a midfoot sprain.
The road victory also ended Memphis’s five-game losing streak away from home.
