DALLAS, TEXAS — The Dallas Mavericks snapped a six-game home losing streak against the Memphis Grizzlies with a thrilling 121-116 win Sunday, marking their first victory at American Airlines Center over Memphis since October 2022.

The Mavericks, who have won nine of their last 10 games, are riding a season-best five-game win streak — their longest of the season.

This ties their best start through 22 games in franchise history, a feat achieved in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
Trailing by 13 points entering the fourth quarter, the Mavericks mounted a comeback, their first from such a deficit since February 2022. Dallas capitalized on a season-high 44 free throw attempts and improved to 9-2 when scoring 120-plus points.
Ja Morant paced Memphis with 31 points and three triples, while the Grizzlies tied a franchise record with their seventh straight game of 25-plus assists.
