Short-handed Grizzlies rout Mavericks 124-105 in Dallas on Feb. 27 behind Cam Spencer’s 25

Game result and flow

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124–105 on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, at American Airlines Center, completing a season sweep of the series. Memphis led 34–20 after the first quarter, 64–44 at halftime, and 101–70 after three quarters before Dallas won the fourth quarter 35–23 to trim the final margin.

The third quarter was decisive: Memphis outscored Dallas 37–26 to build a 31-point advantage entering the final period, turning the game into a controlled finish despite the Mavericks’ late scoring push.

Key individual performances

Cam Spencer led Memphis with 25 points, providing the primary scoring punch as the Grizzlies played without several regular rotation pieces. Olivier-Maxence Prosper recorded the first double-double of his NBA career with 16 points and 10 rebounds, adding frontcourt stability for a team that has frequently had to reshuffle lineups during the season.

The performance list underscored how both teams leaned on available contributors rather than typical headline names, reflecting the roster constraints that have shaped much of the second half of the schedule for Memphis and Dallas.

Injuries and roster availability shaped the matchup

The game took place amid significant absences on both sides, forcing expanded roles for depth players. For Memphis, Ja Morant remained out with a left elbow injury that had already kept him sidelined since Jan. 21, while big man Zach Edey also remained unavailable with an ankle issue. Dallas also entered the night with multiple key players unavailable.

Those conditions were evident in the way the game developed: Memphis established control early, built separation through three quarters, and did not need a high-usage star takeover to close.

What the result means in the standings and season series

The win moved Memphis to 22–36, while Dallas fell to 21–38. In the 2025–26 season series, Memphis finished 3–0 against Dallas, winning twice in Dallas and once at home.
