The Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 103-120

The Dallas Mavericks played poorly in the second game of their seven-game homestand, falling to the Memphis Grizzlies 120-103. Even though the Grizzlies had a long injury report led by Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., the Mavs were unable to finish the game; they fell to 22-16, while Memphis went to 14-23.  

For the second straight game, Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic scored more over thirty points. Irving finished with 33 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 1 block, while Doncic finished with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals. Despite its early success, such contributions proved inadequate to maintain control over the game. Doncic played pick-and-roll with the Grizzlies defence early in the game, completing a late lob pass to Dwight Powell before he converted a step-back 3-pointer.
