Dallas Mavericks

Getting their first win of the season wasn’t enough for the Dallas Mavericks — they had to punish the Memphis Grizzlies in the process. The Mavs pull no punches with their Southwest Division rivals, as Dorian Finney-Smith gets the party started by blocking Ja Morant’s give-and-go drive to the rim. Christian Wood excites the crowd with a block off the glass, while relentless team pressure leads to steals by Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber. Memphis big man Steven Adams has an especially tough time with the Dallas defense, as he gets beat from behind on both a JaVale McGee block and a Luka Dončić pickpocket swipe. When the dust had settled, the Mavericks recorded seven steals and blocks each, forcing 17 turnovers while confounding the Grizzlies to a 9-for-33 night from behind the arc en route to a runaway 137-96 win on October 22, 2022.
