The Dallas Mavericks ( 15 - 12 ) beat the Memphis Grizzlies ( 14 - 14 ) 97 - 88 thanks to some stifling second - half defense on Friday .

Dallas outplayed Memphis in nearly every facet , as they outshot , outrebounded and outassisted the Grizzlies . They held Memphis to just 39 points in the second half and 37 percent shooting throughout the game . Memphis has had one of the worst offenses in the NBA this season and that certainly did n't improve on Friday . They had just 13 assists and made only 30 baskets in a dreadful game . Since moving Zach Randolph to the bench , things have only gotten worse in Memphis and more moves may be on the horizon . Mike Conley led the team with 20 points scored and Marc Gasol put in a 16 - point , eight - rebound effort . The Grizzlies will look to play better on Saturday , when they host the Indiana Pacers . The Mavericks had a spark about them tonight and showed Memphis how tides are changing in the West . There were some fun moments , as Dirk Nowitzki turned back the clock to dunk and record a block in this game . The team recorded an amazing 27 assists on 34 made baskets and that emphasizes how good their ball movement was tonight . Zaza Pachulia had yet another double - double , as he snatched 10 points and 18 rebounds in the win . The most encouraging sign here was the effort by Chandler Parsons , who accumulated 16 points , seven rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes of play . Dallas will have a few days off until they play the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday in their next fixture .
