The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the host Dallas Mavericks, 80 - 64, at American Airlines Center on Friday. In a battle between two offensively inept teams, this scoreline looks more like a college score than an NBA one. Dallas really struggled offensively, as they shot 29 percent from the field and 20 percent from three - point range. The Mavericks were actually held to just 22 points between the second and third quarters, which is easily the lowest two - quarter stretch of any team this season. Memphis was n't much better, as they shot 40 percent from the field and 36 percent from three - point range. The assist - to - turnover ratio was huge as well, with Memphis recording 16 assists and 12 turnovers, while Dallas committed 17 turnovers to just nine assists. Memphis (7 - 5) put on a defensive display for the ages here, as they slowed this game down to a crawl. While no player scored more than 12 points, they had eight players score at least six in their win. Chandler Parsons led the team in scoring, as he dropped 12 points in 23 minutes of action in what was a revenge game for the former Maverick. Marc Gasol was the only other starter in double figures, totaling 11 points, three rebounds and three assists. Zach Randolph was a nice spark off the bench, amassing 10 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Memphis will return to action on Saturday, when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves for their next game. Dallas (2 - 9) is dealing with as many injuries as anyone right now, but there's no excuse for 64 points in an NBA game. Harrison Barnes led the team in scoring, as he totaled 15 points and seven rebounds on 5 - of - 17 shooting. Seth Curry was the only other starter in double figures, tallying 11 points, four rebounds and two assists. Jonathan Gibson led the bench in scoring in his first game with the Mavs, dropping 11 points, four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes of action. Dallas will look to play better on Saturday, when they travel to Orlando to face the Magic.
