尽管贾·莫兰特(Ja Morant)投篮手感不佳，但孟菲斯在附加赛中的胜利有足够的贡献。
孟菲斯队早早取得了两位数的领先优势——大部分得分来自内线——并掌控了这场附加赛的节奏和速度。达拉斯小牛队缺少了唯一一位能够真正影响比赛的创造性天才——凯里·欧文(Kyrie Irving)——转而过度依赖安东尼·戴维斯(Anthony Davis) ，不稳定的跳投，并且未能跟上孟菲斯进攻上限的步伐。戴维斯在37分钟的出场时间里，因一系列伤病而变得更加步履蹒跚，这让达拉斯队的进攻越来越乏力。
莫兰特（22分，9次助攻，7个篮板和3次抢断）今晚在孟菲斯的主场受到了英雄般的欢迎，这场压倒性的胜利中，灰熊队所有五名首发都得分上双。小贾伦·杰克逊(Jaren Jackson, Jr.)（27分和7个篮板）和戴斯蒙德·贝恩(Desmond Bane)（22分和9次助攻）出色地填补了莫兰特不在场的这段时间。桑蒂·阿尔达马(Santi Aldama)（11分）在上半场替补出场，表现出色，而新秀扎克·埃迪(Zach Edey)（15分和11个篮板）在与更受瞩目的小牛队前锋线的对抗中表现出色。
那个被交易用来换取卢卡·东契奇(Luke Doncic)的戴维斯（40分和9个篮板）打出了巨星级别的表现，但并没有得到足够的支持，无法对胜利的灰熊队构成真正的威胁。克莱·汤普森(Klay Thompson)（18分）是唯一另一位有影响力的首发球员，而另一位前湖人球员，马克斯·克里斯蒂(Max Christie)（11分）和布兰登·威廉姆斯(Brandon Willliams)（16分）是这场失利中仅有的有贡献的外线球员。
两队在比赛开始的几分钟内都得到了很多分。汤普森延续了他在萨克拉门托的状态，投中了两个三分球（直到他错失了接下来的六个）。莫兰特利用自己的存在感来制造犯规，并保持了灰熊队足够的空间，而小杰克逊则从他的传球中受益，从左侧底角命中投篮。尽管有犯规麻烦，戴维斯仍然在比赛进行到十分钟时拿下了达拉斯队一半的分数。达拉斯队在第一节结束时以15分之差落后。
小牛队缩小与孟菲斯队差距的任何机会都迅速消失了，因为贝恩和小杰克逊打出了一波8-0的攻势，将比分改写为47-24。戴维斯开始在移动中投篮命中，但达拉斯队在一段时间内无法将比分缩小到20分以内。贝恩在第二节承担了得分重任，孟菲斯队继续保持舒适的领先优势。在以41-66落后之后，小牛队再次发起一波攻势，将分差缩小到半场结束时的17分。
戴维斯继续他在得分榜上的单人突击，并得到了他的一些辅助球员的重要支持。孟菲斯队的进攻在中间阶段停滞不前，小牛队将比分追至仅差7分。然而，小杰克逊在本节末段成功地寻找到了自己的投篮机会，灰熊队带着96-78的领先优势进入第四节。

比赛回顾
莫兰特，带着他脆弱的脚踝，抢断了小牛队的一次失误传球，这导致小杰克逊在底角命中了一记三分球。然而，他的第一个投篮偏离篮筐大约六英尺。小斯科蒂·皮蓬(Scotty Pippen, Jr.)投进了一个抛投，并破坏了达拉斯队的下一次进攻，迫使他们失误。小杰克逊在同一个位置投中一球，帮助孟菲斯队领先7分。汤普森在相反的两翼也投中了两个三分球。埃迪的补篮帮助孟菲斯队领先了13分。阿尔达马的一次转换三分球将灰熊队的领先优势扩大到21分。达拉斯队勉强凑出一个8-2的收尾，发现自己落后了15分。
贝恩轻松地找到了两个良好的远投机会，并轻松地将它们命中。孟菲斯队领先了25分——莫兰特在板凳上得到了充分的休息。达拉斯队徒劳地尝试了一次区域联防，小杰克逊在防守的薄弱处完成了投篮。即使小牛队投篮命中，他们也经常在另一端被孟菲斯队在内线更轻松的投篮所抵消。第二节的结束方式与第一节非常相似，达拉斯队再次太晚才稳住阵脚。孟菲斯队以66-49领先进入中场休息。
戴维斯和小杰克逊在第三节开始时相互较劲。小牛队的一波7-0的攻势以戴维斯在转换中命中一记三分球而告终，将分差缩小到10分以内。汤普森再次开始从球场上热身，而孟菲斯队的埃迪在近距离范围内两次得分，并盖掉了戴维斯的一次试图将分差缩小到7分的投篮。然而，戴维斯在下一次进攻中接到了一次长传，并完成了一次扣篮。约翰·康查尔(John Konchar)迅速得到5分，尽管莫兰特的投篮没有命中，但他出色地为他的队友创造了机会。布兰登·威廉姆斯的2+1让达拉斯队再次逼近。就像上半场一样，小杰克逊在左侧投中两个三分球，将领先优势扩大到15分。尽管达拉斯队对灰熊队进行了坚决的反击，但孟菲斯队仍然以18分的领先优势进入第四节。

Western Conference Play-In Finale: Grizzlies maul haggard Mavericks 120-106 and move on to face OKC
Despite Ja Morant’s off-shooting night, there were more than enough contributions to go around in Memphis’ Play-in win
Memphis seized hold of an early dougle-digit lead - doing most of the damage in the lane - and dictated the pace and tempo of this play-in game. A Mavericks team missing the one creative genius that could have truly impacted this game - Kyrie Irving - instead over-relied on Anthony Davis, spotty jumpshooting, and failed to maintain pace with the ceiling of Memphis’ offensive attack. Davis became more hobbled by a rash of injuries throughout his 37 minutes - leaving Dallas increasingly punchless.
Ja Morant (22 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals) received a heroes welcome home in the dominant win for Memphis tonight where all five starters made it to double-digits. Jaren Jackson, Jr. (27 points and 7 rebounds) and Desmond Bane (22 points and 9 assists) and capably filled the non-Morant minutes. Santi Aldama (11 points) chipped in nicely off the bench in that runaway first half and rookies Zach Edey (15 points and 11 rebounds) competed well against the more heralded Mavs’ frontline.
The man traded for Luke Doncic, Davis (40 points and 9 rebounds) produced at a superstar level, but did not receive enough support early on to seriously threaten the victorious Grizzlies. Klay Thompson (18 points) was the only other starter of consequence, and another former Laker, Max Christie (11 points) and Brandon Willliams (16 points) were the sole perimeter players with contributions in the loss.
The teams put up bunches of points in the first minutes of the game. Thompson picked up where he left off from Sacramento and hit a pair of threes (until he missed the next six). Morant made his presence felt to draw fouls and keep the Grizzlies’ spacing sufficient, while Jackson, Jr. benefitted from his passes to hit from the left corner. Despite his foul trouble, Davis still managed to put up half of Dallas’ points ten minutes into game action. Dallas finished the lopsided first quarter up down 15.
Whatever chance the Mavericks had to meaningfully close the gap on Memphis quickly evapored, as Bane and Jackson, Jr. crafted an 8-0 run to make it 47-24. Davis started hitting shots on the move, but Dallas could not get closer than 20 for some time. Bane took the shot-making mantle in the second quarter minutes and Memphis continued to stay comfortably ahead. After going down 41-66, the Mavericks again mounted a run to get themselves within 17 at the half.
Davis continue his one-man assault on the scoresheet, and received some essential support from his secondary smaller guys. Memphis’ offense stalled out in the middle minutes, and the Mavericks closed to within as close as seven. However, Jackson, Jr. looked for his own shot successfully late in the frame, and the Grizzlies went to the fourth up 96-78.
Observations
- It might be time for Pop to enjoy the considerable inventory in his wine cellars.
- The white Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys were chef’s kiss.
- At one point during the first half romp, Memphis has 20 points in the paint and 21 from three. #modernoffensivebalance
- Sequence of the Game #1: Aldama bricked a floater late in the opening stanza, and as a quickly-moving body came into focus on the screen… Morant threw down a thunderous tip slam to put Memphis up 15.
- Showoff Sequence of the Game: Late in the opening half, Morant, after a steal from Davis, twirled and whirled towards the basket and dropped a dime to Aldama, who did a 270 (won’t give him credit for 360) degree dunk.
Game Rundown
Morant, on his tender ankle, nabbed an errant Mavericks’ pass and that led to an opening corner three from Jackson, Jr. His first shot, however, went about six feet to the right of the hoop. Scotty Pippen, Jr. lofted a floater home, and disrupted the next Dallas possession to force a turnover. Jackson, Jr. hit a shot from that exact spot to put Memphis up seven. Thompson had two threes of his own from opposite wings. Edey’s tip-in put Memphis up a baker’s dozen. A transition three from Aldama inflated the Grizzlies lead to 21. Dallas cobbled together a closing 8-2 run and found themselves down 15.
Bane flowed into two good looks from distance and knocked them down with ease. Memphis went up by 25 - with Morant getting extended rest on the bench. Dallas futilely tried a zone for one possession and Jackson, Jr. connected from the soft spot in the middle of it. Even when the Mavericks hit shots, they were often countered at the other end by easier Memphis shots in the paint. The second quarter wrapped up much like the first one, in that Dallas steadied itself too late again. Memphis went to the break up 66-49.
Davis and Jackson, Jr. went at each other to start the third period. The Mavericks’ 7-0 run was capped off by a Davis three in transition to draw within ten. Thompson began to warm up again from the field, while Memphis’ Edey had two buckets from point-blank range and swatted away a Davis attempt that would have brought Dallas within seven. Yet Davis received a long outlet pass on the next possession and threw down a dunk. John Konchar put up a quick five point flurry, and while Morant’s shot was not going down, he set up his teammates expertly. Brandon Williams’ and-1 allowed Dallas to creep closer again. Just like in the first half, Jackson, Jr. hit a pair of threes from the left side to increase the advantage to 15. Despite the firm push that Dallas gave the Grizzlies, Memphis went to the fourth still up 18.
