Quentin Grimes made a significant impact in his first start of the season, scoring all 15 of his points in the first half with impressive efficiency, including three 3-pointers. He served as a vital floor spacer for Doncic and effectively read the defense during drives. However, he struggled to maintain that momentum in the second half, failing to score again. Grimes' role has become increasingly important for the Mavericks, especially in the absence of Kyrie Irving.
