Khris Middleton delivered when the Dallas Mavericks needed it most.
Middleton scored 22 of his season-high 35 points in the fourth quarter Thursday night, leading Dallas to a 120-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies and snapping the Mavericks’ eight-game losing streak.
Daniel Gafford added a season-best 22 points, providing a strong presence in the paint as Dallas held off Memphis down the stretch.
The Mavericks used Middleton’s late scoring surge to pull away in the final minutes, securing a much-needed victory after weeks of struggles.
Up next: Dallas returns to the court Friday night when the Mavericks host the Cleveland Cavaliers.
