Jaren Jackson Jr. showcased an impressive performance with 35 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists, spearheading the Memphis Grizzlies to a 119-104 victory against the Dallas Mavericks. This win marked Memphis's 10th triumph in their last 11 home games. Scotty Pippen Jr. contributed 18 points, while Jaylen Wells registered a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
The Mavericks, already without their star Luka Doncic due to a calf strain, faced further setbacks with Kyrie Irving sidelined due to a bulging disk in his back. Dallas struggled offensively, missing their top two scorers, who average over 52 points per game.
Despite an early deficit, Memphis regained control, especially in the final three quarters. Dallas attempted to rally with 3-point shots but could not close the gap after Memphis retaliated with a decisive 10-2 run. The Grizzlies dominated the paint, finishing with 52 points and leading in rebounds 55-50, including 13 offensive boards.
