After Action Report
In Memphis, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 135-99. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
