The Dallas Mavericks had the opportunity to extend their win streak to four straight games on Tuesday, but they put forth a lackluster effort against a depleted Memphis Grizzlies team and halted their momentum.
The Mavs suffered a 120-103 loss to the Grizzlies, disappointing fans in attendance at American Airlines Center. To make matters worse, the Grizzlies were playing without their two best players in Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., who both sat out with injuries.
Despite missing its stars, Memphis played like a well-oiled machine, shooting 48.4 from the field and 37.8 from three-point range. The team led by as many as 22 points and also dominated the glass, pulling down 18 offensive rebounds and outrebounding Dallas 54-33.
