The shorthanded Dallas Mavericks fell to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night by a score of 112-108. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving both did not play for Dallas. Jaden Hardy and Josh Green each had 21 points to lead the Mavericks. Desmond Bane and David Roddy had 25 and 24 points, respectively for Memphis.
Hardy got the Mavericks off to a good start in the first quarter, scoring the team’s first five points and demonstrating that he was ready to fill the offensive void created by Luka and Kyrie’s absence. Memphis wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire, but Dallas struggled to knock down open three pointers.
