The Game

The first quarter was a mixture of emotions for fans inside the AAC as they welcomed back Chandler Parsons for the first time. With a mixture of boos and cheers, Parsons scored five early points to get the Grizzlies going. After both teams shot under 35% in the quarter, they went into the second quarter tied 19-19.

The second quarter was a similar story as Seth Curry led the Mavs as Harrison Barnes was held in check for the majority of the first half. In what has become a staple for Dallas this season, the Mavericks struggled scoring the ball as they only had 29 points at halftime.

The third quarter was all Memphis as the Grizzlies came out firing on all cylinders. Led by Chandler Parsons and Marc Gasol, Memphis took the lead up to 56-41 at the end of the third quarter.

Harrison Barnes tried to get going in the fourth quarter but Dallas could never get back into the game. The Grizzlies ended up taking the game 80-64.

Barnes finished with 15 points on 5-17 shooting.
