MEMPHIS—It took them six games to do it, but the younger players for the Dallas Mavericks were finally able to rally around each other and come away with a victory.
With Nicolas Brussino, Nerlens Noel, Jarrod Uthoff, Yogi Ferrell, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell holding their own, the Mavs finished the regular season with a 100-93 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night at FedEx Forum. The win was a major shot in the arm for the Mavs’ young players, most of whom didn’t receive any consistent minutes until the team was eliminated from the playoffs on Apr.
