00:30It's time to do it all over again Dallas playing the 13th home game of their first 18 games of the year back at American Airlines Center on the second night of a back to back to play host tonight to another division rival the Memphis Grizzlies with Devin Harris I'm Mark Folliwell great to have you tuned in to Mavs TV tonight Devin I know I've said this before we're not going to talk about Cooper flag at the beginning of every broadcast why not well we certainly need to talk about him tonight because he is growing up game by game again another performance
00:59last night dare I say what he did especially late in the game was magnificent in that win over the Pelicans he continues to show his maturity level at the young age of 18 but really developing into a clutch player for this team and he has the unique ability to do it no Kyrie no AD they need somebody to take over in the second half especially in the fourth quarter and they put the ball in this young kid's hands he's delivering it at a high level showing a lot of patience figuring things out how to score offensively big buckets time and time again
01:29to be able to keep that pivot foot down and rise up and score another big bucket this kid is showing everything that he could possibly do to get this team to win games and they're gonna need that again tonight man he looked like a ballerina with that footwork on that last basket we saw and led to a 29 point performance a career high for the 18 year old from Newport Maine who is quite efficient 12 of 19 filled up the set sheet with seven boards and five assists and joins LeBron James as the only players
01:59with seven runs with three touchdowns and five dimes so he played his role to perfection last night but everybody on the team's got to play their role in a win like that and another guy who played his role which is certainly an interesting one and he's got a lot of different things he's got to do for the team Nachi Marshall you know he's a dog but he has a dog like mentality and sometimes you need a little bit of confrontation to get not only yourself going but get the team going we saw that last night you know got the technical here I was okay with it because he was trying to jumpstart out that let the start that they had in that first half
02:29Когда ты делаешь это, ты должен
02:30ответить в большинстве.

05:37The last two nights, the last two times Mavericks have played, they've made 16 three-point shots.
05:43When you start talking about averages of making 14, hitting 35.5%, taking 39, that's moving more towards league norm.
05:52And the way that this team plays defense, if they can get their three-point shooting that way consistently,
05:57they'll really start to see the results on the offensive end as well.
06:01Yeah, that 35.5%, that's just shy of league average.
06:05Obviously great to see the attempts go up.
06:07We know what a point of emphasis that was from day one of training camp in Vancouver, British Columbia.
06:11It's important, and obviously the confidence grows when you start to see the ball go to the net more.
06:17But defensively, it sets up a lot of what this team does on the offensive end before.
06:21Got a lot of, like, almost three-man weave motion-looking offense here from Memphis on their first possession of the game.
06:27Brandon Williams, he's crowding.
06:28Jalen Wells on the right-hand side of the floor.
06:30Wells is able to dig out a loose ball.
06:33And the rookie, Cedric Coward, no good.
06:35Fourth game for Zach Eady.
06:37Missed the beginning of the year with an injury.
06:39Looks for a putback, but he misses.
06:41He didn't miss when Memphis stomped a mud hole in Sacramento.
06:45137-96 on Thursday night.
06:48Eady went 7-for-7 in that game.
06:50We will not have a perfect game tonight.
06:55Down the lane, Max Christie.
06:59Defense!
07:08Broken up by Washington as they were looking for Zach Eady.
07:11Will the alley-oop pass?
07:12Now here's Max Christie, and it's deflected up off the backboard by Vince Williams Jr.
07:20And Cedric Coward, the rookie, will push it.
07:23Santi Aldama, and Aldama absorbs contact and finishes from Memphis.
07:28Tough shot.
07:29Pretty good defense.
07:37Looking for the play here from Gaffer going to P.J. Washington.
07:39P.J. had 24 last night, the win over the Pelicans.
07:43Final score of that game was 118-115.
07:48Vince Williams Jr. in Thursday's game easily set a career high with 15 assists.
07:53Looking for a shot there a moment ago, and off the straightaway three,
07:57the offensive rebound by the towering presence of Zach Eady.
08:01Let's take a look at the Volvo performance plan.
08:05We talked about that lethargic start last game.
08:08You can't wait to the second half to bring that energy.
08:10It's got to be from go.
08:11And they must solve the turnover problem.
08:14Offensively, it's really hindered this team with the turnovers.
08:17If they can solve that with the way they're shooting the basketball,
08:19put them on the right side of where they want to be.
08:21The rough night last night, skinned 20 turnovers in the game.
08:24The Mavs are 29th in the league.
08:26Second most turnovers per game, almost 17 and a half.
08:29It's really incredible that they pulled out that W with 20 turnovers.
08:32That's such a hard number to overcome.
08:35Once you get over 15, you're really making life tough on yourself.
08:39They obviously exceeded that by way too much last night.
08:43But all's well that ends well, and it did end well.
08:47Big screen by Gafford with a driving kick by Coop.
08:50And the P.J. Washington corner three is off the mark.
08:53Edie's free throws a moment ago.
08:56Let the Grizzlies into a lead for the first time in the game.
08:59The ball fell there for Jalen Wells.
09:01Coop challenges the shot, but Wells is on the board.
09:0650-50 ball didn't end up in the Mavericks hands.
09:15Memphis with their win on Thursday.
09:17They're 5-11.
09:18Mavericks 5-12.
09:20Dallas 4-8 at home.
09:22Memphis 1-6 on the road.
09:24More about that later.
09:25Cutting to the basket.
09:26Here's Gafford.
09:27Oh, and he ran into a brick wall.
09:29Edie, but he somehow got the ball back and missed on the follow-up attempts.
09:34Edie's a powering presence over there.
09:36They've got to move him from side to side.
09:38Now here is an attempt by Vince Williams as he zigzags through the lane
09:43and misses on the shot off the window.
09:45It is amazing when someone's that much bigger than everybody else
09:48and everyone's big.
09:48That's a giant human.
09:51A drive by Brandon Williams.
09:53And with 9-0-1 left in the first quarter, for the first time tonight, we see B-Will on the line.
10:04Now we're going to discuss his night last night with the Paycom Player Insights.
10:10He tied his career high with 12 assists in the game, assisted four different players, had 32 points created.
10:18Love the way he found an avenue to help the team on a night that his shot wasn't falling.
10:231 of 12 for the floor, but 12 assists.
10:26And, of course, I had a conversation with him tonight.
10:28You and me both.
10:29Yeah.
10:29You first.
10:30My conversation was, Brandon, I am so excited to watch you hoop on your birthday.
10:35Happy birthday.
10:36And my, it was a little more R-rated, how I said it to him.
10:42His mom's watching right now.
10:43That's why I can't repeat that.
10:45That's why I can't repeat that.
10:46That's why I've had mercy.
10:47Oh, my God.
10:48They're wilding out here.
10:49Just having fun, Devin.
10:50Yeah, absolutely.
10:51That's what we're doing.
10:52We're guys here.
10:53We're just having a good time.
10:54How was your conversation with him?
10:55That was more basketball-related.
10:56Okay.
10:57I just saw something in the game last.
10:59We got a three or four turnover, trying to go lobs the big guy.
11:03Ah.
11:03And I told him, you know, as you see that nice little shot there, you have to go in there looking to score first.
11:10Must draw the center to you to get the late pass.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:15Rim out three for Washington.
11:16It was Santi Aldama who scored a moment ago.
11:19Grizzlies doubling up Dallas here in the opening minutes of the game.
11:24Devins, a broadcaster, a ref, a player development guy.
11:27Got it all.
11:28Got it all, man.
11:29Aldama missed.
11:30Christie kept him off the offensive glass, but the rebound flew right out to Vince Williams Jr.
11:35for an easy hoop.
11:37Let's go.
11:39Fourth start of the year for Vince Williams Jr.
11:41Drafted in 2022 with a second round after a four-year collegiate career at Virginia Commonwealth.
11:47VCU.
11:49A slash and a floater by Max Christie.
11:53Coach Kidd was talking about that before the game.
11:55They're going to start running Max out of that corner.
11:57Can he finish off the dribble or make the pass?
12:01Going to start running you out of the corner when you lead the NBA in corner threes.
12:04He's made 25 this year.
12:06Runner Jalen Wells is short.
12:08There's a foul for the rebound.
12:09The ball's out of bounds off Zach Eady.
12:13Katavius Caldwell-Pope is going into the game for Memphis.
12:16And here's Max attacking that closeout.
12:18And understand what's on the other team's scout report and what they're trying to take away.
12:22And can you make the adjustment?
12:24And running them off the line, they're going to give them that in-between shot.
12:27But if he starts making that, then it puts a whole defense in another category.
12:31Entry management for Derek Lively tonight on the second night of a back-to-back.
12:36Therefore, Moussa Cissé is the first big off the bench replacing Gafford.
12:40And we also see Najee Marshall going into the game as well.
12:44Boy, he had a big three last night.
12:46Put him ahead for good with 30.7 left in the game.
12:50Skinny, we're talking about this stretch of six games where Dallas is taking more threes and the percentage has gone up.
12:55Speaking of the percentage going up, three-pointers on the money for Brandon Williams.
13:00And Najee Marshall in the last six games, including that go-ahead for good three last night, he's nine for 20.
13:0545% on threes.
13:08Cissé, I think he might have got a little fingertip on it on that pass for Eadie.
13:12But it still is scored Memphis, Vince Williams Jr. again.
13:17Close quarter passing there by the critics.
13:22Dribble handoff to Max Christie.
13:25Here's Marshall in the game.
13:29And Brandon Williams, rinse and repeat.
13:31Happy birthday, my man!
13:35Darnson's birthday shoes, too, man.
13:37Absolutely.
13:38Look at those things.
13:39He's got some nice kicks.
13:41Kind of fuchsia.
13:43For three, Jalen Wells.
13:45And it's a battle for the rebound.
13:47And it's a foul called on the Mavericks.
13:49It's on Moussa Cissé.
13:50On the glass.
13:52B. Will saw the ball go in on a couple of freebies.
13:55And then back-to-back threes.
13:57Same spot, same result.
13:59This game is on level terms.
14:0112-12 at the first timeout.
14:02It's going to be a Brandon Williams night.
14:06I mean, your birthday, you've got to show out.
14:07He's got eight of Dallas' first 12 points as it's 12-12 at the first timeout of the game with 626 left in the first quarter.
14:14He's coming out aggressive on his birthday.
14:16And read the defense, and any time you're going to pick and roll and they go underneath you, you need to take that as disrespect.
14:23Once you hit one spot and rinse and repeat, knock it down again, he's in a great rhythm to start this game.
14:28And hopefully, he's going to continue to push that pace.
14:31And he's been struggling from three, but those two shots are good.
14:3440% last year on threes.
14:36He's off to a 16% 7 of 44 start this year's skin.
14:40But the good news is you've got a lot of time to get that worked out.
14:42Yeah, and I think also he's in a different role than last year, you know, when he got inserted into the starting lineup.
14:48He's probably thinking about getting guys involved.
14:50But to Devin's point, that's a mentality.
14:52I love the idea of being offended when someone goes under the screen.
14:55I love that attitude.
14:57Cam Spencer and Jock Landale are in the game now for the Grizzlies.
15:00Speaking of struggling on threes, that's the case for Contavious Caldwell-Pope.
15:04And the missed three ricochets so hard off the rim that Brandon Williams unable to cleanly come away with it.
15:12And it's out of bounds.
15:13Back to the Grizzlies.
15:16This is a City Edition jersey matchup tonight.
15:20The Mavericks and boys wearing their Pegasus City Edition jerseys.
15:25And the Memphis City Edition jerseys that pay tribute to their 25th season in Memphis.
15:31And Stax Records and Isaac Hayes.
15:33Man, they got some texture and design.
15:36You got to be up on them to really appreciate it.
15:38But they're really sweet, too, fellas.
15:40And, of course, the Mavericks are fire.
15:42I mean, I love their fit.
15:43Here's another layup.
15:44Brandon Williams already into double figures.
15:46You guys ever been to that Stax Museum in Memphis?
15:49I have not.
15:50Got to go.
15:51I'm sad to say.
15:51I have not been there.
15:52They got IK's Cadillac in there.
15:54It's legendary.
15:54You got to go.
15:55Graceland I have been to.
15:57It's been a while.
15:57You know, I always tell people about Graceland's skin.
15:59I went there hoping to like it.
16:00And I left and loved it.
16:02That's how good it was, man.
16:03Did you get Devin to go?
16:04No.
16:05Devin was playing then.
16:07So he wasn't allowed to fraternize.
16:08Okay.
16:09You can find me at the restaurant that I love.
16:11He does love flight.
16:13I love flight.
16:14Yes.
16:14I need to get you to that Stax Museum.
16:16You'll love it.
16:18I'm open.
16:19I'm open.
16:20Lee Thompson is coming to the game.
16:25Ball is in to Cam Spencer.
16:27And nice little give and go.
16:28And then a bubble by Omax who's in the game for Memphis.
16:32And it's Moussa Cece with the rejection.
16:35And Dallas runs the floor.
16:36Transition three.
16:37Yes, sir.
16:38Clay Thompson.
16:38Three, four, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip.
16:42Starts with defense.
16:43Moussa with the block.
16:45You know, both of these teams hit hard by injuries.
16:48We'll catch up on that in a moment.
16:50But Omax is in right now for Memphis.
16:52Landale with the paint catch.
16:54And he missed on the sweeping hook shot.
16:56Let's go, man.
16:58We just hit a three.
17:02Then on the dribble handoff, he's going to drive it.
17:06And was he thinking lob or shot there?
17:09There is a foul called on Omax.
17:12There's Cece with his first block tonight.
17:14It's a pretty good possession by Memphis.
17:16But coming up with you.
17:17Well, number one.
17:19There's no part.
17:20Loose is cleaning it up and leading to a wide open.
17:24Clay Thompson three transition.
17:30On the side here for Najee Marshall.
17:32Memphis has their second team foul.
17:35Here's Clay.
17:35And he's looking for Cece.
17:38He caught it.
17:39It's poked away.
17:40And it's out of bounds off Dallas.
17:42Committed one of those Cardinals sins.
17:43Brought it down.
17:44Brought it down.
17:45Don't do that.
17:47You guys made the call for a hearty party last night.
17:49We had one of those going.
17:50It was good.
17:51Four of seven in the game last night.
17:5311 points in 14 minutes.
17:55Omax.
17:56So in his first year with Memphis.
17:57After 92 games over the last few seasons with the Mavs.
18:00Omax averaging about 5 points in a little over 9 minutes per game.
18:05Overall shooting percentage good.
18:07But 3-pointers have been a struggle.
18:09They are not a struggle of course.
18:11For the man who's 5th in NBA history in 3s.
18:14Clay Thompson.
18:148-0 Dallas run on another Clay 3.
18:20Cam Spencer.
18:21Now Conchar.
18:24Here's a deep paint seal attempt.
18:26Laying down.
18:27Oh, he brought it down.
18:29Oh, but he stays after it and scores.
18:31Boy, he was camped out down there.
18:34I guess it was like 2.99 seconds.
18:36Stuck on the clock.
18:38Clock stopped working.
18:43P.J. on the move.
18:45Washington.
18:46Redout layup.
18:47Tipped missed by Cissé.
18:48And then Cissé goes to ground.
18:50And it's Memphis' John Conchard.
18:52Running the fast break.
18:54And he threw it perfectly into the hands of somebody on the front row.
18:58They were open.
18:59I mean, delivered it right into the shooting pocket.
19:02Of a guy who appears to be in a dark green sweater.
19:04He's better than me.
19:06I would have stood up and shot it.
19:07You have to.
19:08Got to.
19:08If you ever get a ball in an NBA arena, you'll shoot it.
19:11Got to let it fly.
19:12I don't understand these people.
19:14So you think it's going to happen again?
19:16This is your, uh, is this your 17th year or 18th season?
19:19Uh, 17.
19:2017th season on the broadcast.
19:21You have said that from season one all the way.
19:25You have been consistent.
19:26I preach this.
19:27It's not going to happen again, people.
19:30You're not going to be holding a ball in an NBA arena again.
19:33Here's Coop.
19:33He's got a ball in an NBA arena and a shot over Omax is no good.
19:38Dribble hand off to Cam Spencer.
19:43Spencer's career high was 23 against the Mavericks last year on the final day of the regular season.
19:49And off the triple one hand pass poked away from Omax by Jaden Hardy.
19:54And then I think we have a loose ball foul here as that ball was going to fly in a click Thompson's hands.
19:58And Omax clatters into him.
20:01So it's three team fouls now on the Memphis Grizzlies here in quarter number one.
20:05He's out of control, but trying to fight for that loose ball.
20:13A lot of melted butter on that ball.
20:16A couple of quick fouls on Omax.
20:25Duke on the post up against John Conchar.
20:28Going left.
20:30Missed it in the paint.
20:31Omax the rebound.
20:35John Morant, Jaron Jackson, Jr., Ty Jerome, Scottie Kiffin, Jr.
20:39Some of the notable injuries for the Grizzlies in this game tonight.
20:44They are clearly missing some.
20:47Big swat by Gafford.
20:49On the drive-in side by Caldwell Pope, who's just desperate for something to go in.
20:54It's a three-point Dallas lead.
20:59We're in the last three minutes of the first quarter.
21:01And now it's post up time.
21:03And then Joe's drive time.
21:04And he creeps him on the baseline.
21:07Coop found a little sliver of space to score against Caldwell Pope.
21:10Waiting patiently for that angle to present itself.
21:14Just took advantage.
21:15Deep paint catch.
21:16And a score for Jock Landale.
21:20I'm just glad the Mavs cleared out last time, Devin.
21:22The possession before, on this side, Cooper had it isolated, but there was a post player.
21:27Bobo got it back.
21:30And then it takes a rattle out three.
21:32And fortunately, the melted butter on Paul struck again.
21:36And for Daniel Dabley.
21:39Landale scored a moment ago for the Grizzlies.
21:41He's coming off a season-high 21 against Sacramento on Thursday night.
21:44Caldwell Pope got a mid-range shot to go in.
21:501.33 to play in the first quarter.
21:53A timeout called by the Mavericks, who have a one-point lead.
21:58Earlier that Memphis is 1-6 on the road this year.
22:01And so, we'll drill down on that further in tonight's Chalk Talk game within the game.
22:05And their struggles on the road are reflected in some of these numbers.
22:10Low offensive rating.
22:11Big point differential.
22:12They don't shoot the ball terribly well.
22:14Only 42%.
22:15They have started out tonight's game shooting just 39%.
22:19And not a lot of paint protection in their road games either.
22:23And think about it.
22:24They've got some good shot blockers on their team.
22:26When you look at Jaron Jackson Jr. and Zach Eady.
22:28Now, Eady hasn't played much this year.
22:30But they're only blocking three shots a game on the road as well.
22:33So, for Tuomas Izalo, who's in his second season after taking over late last year for St. Mark's High School's own Taylor Jenkins.
22:41They've had a lot of difficulty on the road.
22:44Well, you've got a young team.
22:46And playing without young guys, the hardest thing to do is figure out how to win on the road.
22:50But, obviously, their offensive struggles are a big part of that.
22:54Goop in the paint.
22:55A little show and go here.
22:57But Marshall's denied going any farther.
22:59Kickball by Santi Aldama.
23:02That was more 14 seconds on the shot.
23:04Aldama, as we chronicled in the last matchup between the Mavs and Grizzlies, which was won by Memphis, 118-104.
23:11Aldama has a history of playing quite well against Dallas since the beginning of 2023.
23:17It was a good cut.
23:18It was a deflection.
23:19It's a rainbow shot from the baseline.
23:22And the ball's out of bounds off Olmec.
23:23So, it's still Dallas ball.
23:2514 on the reset.
23:26109 left in the first.
23:29Clay's shot was pretty.
23:30Just didn't drop.
23:31Nice trajectory.
23:35And now he's going to drive.
23:37And it's scooped to the hoop.
23:38Miss.
23:39Ends it rebounding as Ole Miss.
23:41Marty a rim out.
23:43A lot of ops for Dallas, but they don't cash in.
23:49Aldama.
23:50Plus the three-pointer.
23:51Couldn't take Marshall off the bounce.
23:54Memphis has a chance to retake the lead.
23:56There's that perky-jerky dribble and move of Vince Williams Jr.,
24:00which ends and a ball being rifled into the stands.
24:05Too much hurt, not enough jerk.
24:06Yeah.
24:08And then kind of turned, looking disdainfully at maybe not being on the same page with one of his teammates.
24:16I don't think that play was going anywhere anyways, man.
24:19Here's Marty.
24:20Jaden, over the last three games, is averaging 13 points and shooting 50% on threes.
24:29Long rebounds.
24:30A coop.
24:30Off the miss by Cedric Coward.
24:32Good rookie, 14 and a half points a game for Cedric Coward, the 11th pick in the draft last summer.
24:42Negligible difference, shot clock, game clock.
24:47It's been great late in games.
24:49Let's see what he does here late in the quarter.
24:51He goes to put the shot up, and then it's Caldwell Post keeping Dallas away from any last-ditch offensive rebound and shot attempt.
24:5922.
24:59We have reached the end of the first quarter.
25:03After one, the difference on the board is one in favor of the Mavericks at home on night two of a back-to-back.
25:08Tonight, as Dallas takes on the Memphis Grizzlies.
25:1722-21, Mavericks in front.
25:19Baylor, Scott, and White health pulse check.
25:21First quarter stats.
25:23I've seen better, but I've seen worse.
25:26Grizzlies shooting 37.5%.
25:28Mavs about 35%.
25:29Fortunately, the Mavs do have a nice three-point shooting percentage.
25:34Paint and second chance points, both favoring Memphis in this here game.
25:39Shoot that poorly.
25:41Get a couple cracks at it.
25:42That'll keep you in the game.
25:44Well, here's the man who's been explosive on offense.
25:47The guy making buckets.
25:48Four for four.
25:50He's made two twos, two threes, and two free throws.
25:54And so Brandon Williams has 12.
25:57Now here's G.G. Jackson.
25:58Jackson's turnaround shot, and the paint is way off the mark.
26:04White Thompson passed through the hands of Coop.
26:08When in doubt, just shoot it.
26:10Yeah, let it fly.
26:11Let it fly.
26:15I would have two, man.
26:20I would have two, Skins.
26:23Surprisingly, despite all that melted butter,
26:26there's only three turnovers for Dallas so far.
26:28How about that?
26:29That's a positive trend.
26:30Four-three, G.G. Jackson, the second.
26:3620 years old, third season in the league.
26:38Tonight is his eighth appearance of the year.
26:41Hasn't played a ton of minutes.
26:42It's 46 minutes this year.
26:44A probe in the paint by Caleb Martin.
26:49Martin slipped the screen.
26:50Coop on the bounce against El Dama.
26:55Yeah, nice little crossover in there.
27:01Fighting over the screen was Brandon Williams,
27:03and it was a mountainous screen set by Zach Eadie.
27:06And then Eadie going after the rebound,
27:08he touched it last.
27:09Cedric Coward thought he got fouled as he missed the shots.
27:12Eadie had extraordinary numbers in his junior and senior seasons at Purdue.
27:22Both of them good to be the NCAA player of the year twice.
27:25As a junior, 22 points, 13 rebounds a game.
27:28As a senior, 25 points, 12 points a game.
27:30And over two blocks a game both of those seasons.
27:32There ain't a lot of college kids that can hold that dude off the glass.
27:37No way, no how.
27:39Wow.
27:39Williams and Gafford, a big coming together.
27:42A shot for Thompson.
27:43An offensive rebound for Gaff.
27:44Another shot for Thompson.
27:46That's in his wheelhouse.
27:47Straight away for Clay.
27:49And a disgusted.
27:51Tomas Zalo calls a timeout.
27:53He was not happy with allowing this second chance opportunity to the Mavericks.
27:58Looking like, how many open shots are we going to get?
28:02Mavericks basketball is brought to you by your North Texas Chevy dealers.
28:06Great to have you tuned in on KFAA, Mavs TV, and our affiliates around the great state of Texas.
28:11We're early in the second quarter.
28:13It's a 27-21 lead for the Mavericks over the Memphis Grizzlies.
28:17Clay Thompson has all of Dallas' bench points, nine.
28:20If you look at percentage of points from the bench, the Mavericks are third.
28:2540% of their points off the bench.
28:27The Grizzlies are first.
28:28About 43% of their points come from the bench.
28:32If you want to go raw numbers, gentlemen, 48.4 bench points for Memphis' second.
28:3744.4 bench points per game for Dallas.
28:40His fifth in the NBA.
28:43This NBA and the way the rosters are constructed now, it's more built, less top-heavy, more on-depth.
28:48It's not surprising that you see this bench production on teams built a lot deeper.
28:53That was the goal of the new collective bargaining agreement, and it's starting to become that way.
28:59Vince Williams, tough shot in the paint.
29:01It's no good.
29:01Edie able to secure an offensive rebound.
29:05Outside to Gigi Jackson.
29:07Memphis looking for their first points of the second quarter, and they have it.
29:12There was a pick coming together.
29:15Caleb Martin sounded like the skipper on Gilligan's Island with the oop when he got hit in the lane there.
29:21Yeah, he did.
29:23It was a great reference.
29:25It was a three-point miss up top by Clay Thompson.
29:27Edie screens for Vince Williams, Jr., and then Jr., Vince Williams, Jr., that is, is just able to drive hard to the basket through contact and score.
29:41For Harkin, George, on that.
29:43Yes, that was successfully executed by Vince, who is making a start tonight for the fourth time this year.
29:51On the move, Clay rises and hits again.
29:54That's the first two-point basket he's made in the game.
29:57I got something for you guys here in a minute.
30:03Here's a runner by something Aldama.
30:06Is it Gilligan's Island related?
30:08It's not.
30:09It's not, but I got something good for you guys in a second.
30:14Grizzlies close to within two points.
30:17Here's Martin.
30:18They're looking for a dribble handoff.
30:19Memphis was able to gum up the works in that regard.
30:23Now Gaffer down low.
30:24Outside Thompson.
30:25A launch and a hit!
30:27Four, two, two!
30:29Up to 14 now for Klay Thompson.
30:32The Mavericks' leading scorer.
30:34Man's got some rhythm tonight.
30:35Does.
30:36Eight in the quarter for Klay.
30:39Offensive foul on Memphis on Edie.
30:42First personal, it's got the ball.
30:44Since he's gotten a game, he's had a little pep in his step.
30:47Whatever you have for breakfast, sign me up for some of that.
30:50He's locked in.
30:52I'm going to assume it was Captain Crunch.
30:54You know, speaking of breakfast, that's kind of where I was going.
30:57It's like we're connected.
30:59We're connected.
31:00The Mavericks have 14 points from Klay, 12 points from Brandon Williams.
31:04I would say that outside of Brandon Williams and Klay Thompson, every one of the Maverick offense is involved.
31:11But B. Will and Klay Thompson are committed, which is kind of like the old ham and eggs breakfast.
31:16Because, you know, Devin, in a ham and eggs breakfast, the chicken is involved.
31:20The pig is committed.
31:22Did you know that?
31:23I think that's a point.
31:24Now, think about it.
31:26Klay Thompson hoping for more commitment, but the three-pointer is off the mark.
31:32So, you're saying it's more of a sacrifice that the pig is making.
31:36Just saying, that's how you characterize a ham and eggs breakfast.
31:40And the involvement and commitment relationship of the chicken and the pig.
31:44Inside, Cissé with some good defense against Gigi Jackson.
31:48Edie brought the ball down.
31:49Mavericks trying to rake it away.
31:50Caleb Martin on the floor.
31:52B. Will's got it.
31:53Good hustle.
31:55P. J.'s in the game.
31:56Just subbed in.
31:58Bluffing the three.
31:59B. Will in good hands by Gigi Jackson.
32:02And in the scramble for the loose ball after the rip by Gigi Jackson, there's a foul called on B. Will.
32:08Looks like the butter's still there.
32:14Kind of goes through his arms to try to get it.
32:16Yeah, kind of grabbed one.
32:18Briefly grabbed his arm.
32:19First team foul on Dallas as the Mavericks lead it by five with about five minutes played.
32:29Here in the second quarter of the game, Spencer on the drive.
32:33Al-Dama, he goes down.
32:37The shot does not go down.
32:39And Cissé works his tail off to keep Zach Eady away from the offensive glass.
32:45Drive and kick.
32:46A lightning quick drive down the lane by Brandon Williams with the kick out to P.J. Washington.
32:50Does not lead to a main three.
32:54It goes out of bounds off Dallas after the miss.
32:57Jalen Wells is going in for Gigi Jackson.
33:00And you've got John Conchar going back into the game as well.
33:04Didn't drive, but I love the look that Brandon created for P.J. there.
33:10Crispy, clean, wide open, corner three.
33:12I heard Harp talking about the fact that Brandon Williams is the fastest player for the Mavericks.
33:19And that is actually, that is defined by the player tracking data released by the NBA, particularly on offense.
33:27No surprise that Brandon Williams is the fastest player on offense moving at an average of 5.2 miles per hour for the Mavericks.
33:34It's amazing what they can track nowadays.
33:36It is.
33:36And we can also track that Contavious Caldwell-Poke just hit a three.
33:41Gentleman, he had missed his last 13 threes prior to that over about a six-game stretch.
33:47Balls poked away here by John Conchar, and it flies out of bounds.
33:52And it's off Memphis, and nobody in the stands is shooting it.
33:54No.
33:55They didn't do that, Scott.
33:56Wasted opportunity.
33:57That is actually the longest stretch of three-point shooting futility by anyone named Contavious in the history of the NBA.
34:0413 in a row that he missed.
34:06Yes.
34:06No other Contavious has ever matched that.
34:09Five full games without a made three, and the end of another game at the beginning of tonight.
34:17Double pump shot up.
34:19The iron unkind in a lot of situations tonight for the Mavericks.
34:23And in that case, P.J. Washington.
34:26And that was right out there in front of God and everybody.
34:29Zach Eadie sets a moving screen at center court.
34:32And a moving screen of someone of his mammoth size is hard to miss.
34:39I would agree.
34:40This didn't quite get set there.
34:42Yeah.
34:42Yeah.
34:42It's hard to get set.
34:44I mean, we're watching it in slow motion.
34:46It's hard to get set in fast speed like that.
34:48Group on the floor for the Mavs.
34:54Max Christie, Najee Marshall, P.J. Washington.
34:57Jaden Harda, Hardy, and Moussa Cissé.
35:00And a steal here by Eadie.
35:02And Conchar weaves through the defense.
35:05Cissé recovers and blocks it.
35:07The ball falls outside to Jalen Wells.
35:09And Wells underneath to Eadie.
35:13And the big man in his second year from Purdue is headed to the foul line with 5.53 left in the second.
35:22Moussa Cissé only plays 11 minutes per game this year,
35:26but 1.2 blocks per game in those 11 minutes.
35:29So he's 19th in the league in block shots per game despite relatively a low amount of playing time.
35:39Eadie on the foul line.
35:43Hey, Mavs fans.
35:45DraftKings Pick 6 is now available in Texas, and you can make picks live once games have tipped off.
35:50Download the DraftKings Pick 6 app now and sign up with code Mavs.
35:56I know some people were wondering going into the draft,
36:00would Zach Eadie be able to play in the modern NBA?
36:02Well, he rolled into Memphis last year after they took him ninth.
36:06And he was first-team all-rookie, gents.
36:08Nine points, eight rebounds a game.
36:09And he started 55 games for a playoff team last year.
36:13There's a little bit of a resurgence going on.
36:15He's already almost getting started.
36:18Klingon in Portland is a similar style big, and he's starting for them and having an impact.
36:22Yes.
36:23I mean, no question Donovan Klingon is having an impact.
36:26Three, two, three.
36:28Three, two.
36:28Mini for Cam Spencer is good.
36:30And Memphis takes the lead.
36:32They've scored seven straight.
36:33I think Eadie, when you talked about his back-to-back national player of the years in college,
36:37when he came back to school, didn't like the draft status,
36:41I thought he came back more agile as a senior.
36:43And when I saw that and how he was moving in his senior year,
36:46that kind of let me know that that game would translate into the NBA life.
36:49No, I think that's a very good observation on your part.
36:53I would concur fully with that.
36:55We had Memphis very early last year.
36:57I remember looking at him and thinking, okay, he's more slender than I thought he was.
37:00Got a foul called here on the Memphis Grizzlies with 5-0-2 left to play in the quarter.
37:08In the quarter, that is foul number one, team foul number one on the Grizzlies.
37:13Cam Spencer, the guilty party.
37:21Mentioned earlier that Derek Lively is among those out tonight for the Mavericks.
37:25And again, remember D'Angelo Russell's second straight game.
37:27He's missed due to illness.
37:28There's a foul by Spencer.
37:30And so with no Lively tonight, injury management on the second night of a back-to-back,
37:35Dwight Powell will get some runs now.
37:39We've seen Gaff.
37:40We've seen Moussa Cisse.
37:41And from a foul standpoint, Cisse has two and eight minutes.
37:48Goes out now, and here comes Dwight Powell.
37:53Career game number 718.
37:56713 of those have been with Dallas.
37:58He's fifth in Mavericks history in games played.
38:02Devin, who are your two least favorite Big Ten teams?
38:06Michigan State.
38:07I knew that one was in there.
38:10Illinois.
38:11Wow.
38:11I did not know that the Spartans in the Illini would be catching straights tonight.
38:16I knew the Spartans would, but that's why I asked for two.
38:19I needed to know who else was there with them.
38:22Putting it down, Marshall, who just went to the free throw line and earned himself another trip to the stripe.
38:28Fouls under the tree form.
38:30Spencer is the guilty party on both of these fouls that have sent Marshall to the line.
38:36For two shots.
38:37For two shots.
38:41Nearly 79% this season.
38:43And that's his career free throw percentage as well.
38:49Trying to tie things up with 443 to play in the second quarter.
38:52For the Mavs who are ending this opening season stretch of 13 of 18 at home.
39:00So, the season is barely over 20% old.
39:06But the Mavs will have played over 30% of their home games.
39:11That's wild.
39:12Yes, that is, that is really wild.
39:16Remember, the Mavs opened the year with a five-game homestand.
39:19The first team in the NBA to do that since the 1983-84 Kansas City Kings.
39:25Hold the phone here.
39:27You got a turnover on Dallas after they'd secure the offensive rebound.
39:31The Mavs give it back.
39:34Got P.J. stepping on the sideline.
39:36It would appear.
39:38Bright orange shoestrings.
39:42Hard to camouflage it.
39:44Yeah.
39:44And to Spencer, who makes his move to the elbow, has to turn down a shot.
39:53Dallas recovered.
39:56Conchard catapults it over the defense.
39:58Jalen Wells draws a foul.
40:00Shot crawls out.
40:01But he's headed to the line.
40:05Jaden Hardy called for the foul.
40:0713th foul on Dallas in the second quarter.
40:09I'm on the line.
40:12Jalen Wells for the season.
40:14Well, he's this season is way down.
40:19He was up in the 80s on free throws last year.
40:2168% this season for Jalen Wells.
40:25And there's a miss.
40:26Well, we just talked about all these home games.
40:28Now, obviously, the Mavericks owe the road some games.
40:31And you can catch away games.
40:32Maverick fans had one of our official Mavs watch parties featuring the Maniacs.
40:37With free giveaways, game ticket raffles, that is, and a whole lot more.
40:42Game details are available on all upcoming dates and locations at Mavs.com slash watch parties.
40:48Not a lot of free throws, but the teams have shot them well tonight.
40:546 of 6, Dallas.
40:555 of 6, Memphis.
40:56PJ overpowers the defense to provide pain points for the Mavs who retake the lead.
41:02I like him in the post.
41:05I like him in the post.
41:05Yeah, characterized by strength and patience on that one.
41:10Conchar and John Conchar.
41:16He draws a foul on Marshall.
41:17And the man in his seventh season from Purdue Fort Wayne is going to the free throw line.
41:24All seven years with Memphis.
41:28Najee with the reach right there.
41:31That lets me know when you reach that way, you're out of position.
41:34You want to kind of cover that up with your body and then move out.
41:37But when you reach, it creates that little bit of an opening and able to get that floater to go.
41:44Only four free throw attempts for Conchar this season.
41:47He's made two and now missed two.
41:49He was held fouls on Vince Williams, Jr.
41:57That's the third team foul on the Grizz here in the second quarter.
42:04Going into play last night, the Mavericks were the top team in the league in terms of drawing fouls.
42:09They're tied with Orlando at the top team.
42:12Not a lot of fouls on the Pelicans last night.
42:14So the Mavericks slipped to third in the league in fouls drawn and third in the league in free throws attempted.
42:19Twenty-three fouls drawn per game, twenty-nine free throws attempted per game.
42:24Coops back in.
42:26He's got a low clock situation.
42:27Filling a located area for a corner three-point try is Najee Marshall.
42:33Up ahead to Conchar.
42:35Puts it down to gather himself and to get out from underneath the basket.
42:40It's too deep to do anything.
42:44Vince Williams lost the handle.
42:47The melted butter strikes again.
42:49Oh, Max misses on a three-tip-out rebound by Conchar.
42:53Wells passed up the shot.
42:55The driving kick to Conchar.
42:57And a rebound for Marshall.
42:59Like, White Powell's closeout was really good.
43:02That's exactly how you're supposed to do it.
43:04Another post to play here for Washington inside.
43:10And more strength to power his way in there and finance to finish it.
43:15Let's punish smaller defenders.
43:25Another lead change.
43:26Mavs on top by one.
43:28Got to the rim.
43:29Caldwell Pope missed it.
43:31Memphis.
43:31And they're the quickest to that loose ball.
43:34Caught on the move by Omax.
43:36And it's Canada against Canada.
43:38Oh, but it fell for Jalen Wells after the air ball in the paint by Omax.
43:44Wells scores.
43:45That possession was wild.
43:46Wild.
43:46Wild indeed.
43:51Working again inside.
43:52With success.
43:53P.J. Washington Jr.
43:55Dallas has found something and they're going to it again and again and again.
44:00Devin simple run until they stop it put them down there using that brutal strength punishing
44:09those defenders I'd come out running again.
44:12Thompson is off to a strong start in his first half and talked a lot about the defense that's
44:16opened up a lot of things for him.
44:18He's in a lot better rhythm team running off screens.
44:20They're running a lot of post splits where he made a living off of a golden state and
44:26you can tell just that the body language is a lot different.
44:29The shot selection is there and he's got his legs underneath him and he's off to a strong
44:33start a short amount of time he's got a lot of buckets coming.
44:40He has tied his most points in the half this season.
44:44Last weekend had 14 points in the first half of Dallas's overtime win against the Portland
44:49Trailblazers and he's got 14 in the first half of this game tonight and the thing got going
44:56for Clay you know you saw on that list 10 points in the second half of Dallas's recent home
45:01game against the Phoenix Suns.
45:03That was about a week and a half ago and that's when you sort of spoke into existence that things
45:08were moving in the right direction for Clay Thompson.
45:11And I love that the move to the bench and like I said it opened up some things guys are looking
45:16for him a lot more screen setting, the splits off the post, a lot more open shots in that
45:23scenario.
45:24And there's no coincidence that the Mavs three point shooting is creeping up and up
45:27because of opportunities, clean looks, things that are designed for that thing to drop.
45:31He didn't finish off the three point play but they've gone to him for the last three baskets.
45:38Everything has been inside.
45:39Here's Cedric Coward, a step back three late in the clock.
45:43Memphis, they have had a lot of second shot opportunities tonight.
45:47The second shot opportunities have been available with the misses but there's no miss there as
45:52Omax up the baseline able to score on the reverse.
45:55We talk about the injuries to this team and what they're missing offensively but if you give
45:58them two or three shots at the basket, they're going to find the bucket here and there.
46:0512 offensive rebounds for Memphis, they have 17 second chance points in the game.
46:11Ball's moving nicely around the perimeter.
46:15EJ's success has been inside here in the last little bit.
46:19He missed there from the outside, last minute of the half.
46:23And it rolls off the rim for Jalen Wells and this time Dallas makes that a one and done
46:28possession and with the rebound they run and an emphatic finish from P.J.
46:36Well executed two on one.
46:39Cut to the basket, oh and P.J. recovers.
46:43Nope.
46:46And then it's P.J. with the pass to Daniel Gafford.
46:50P.J. runs the floor and scores, runs the floor and blocks, runs the floor and assists
46:56to the big man from El Dorado, Arkansas.
47:01This is an incredible block and the start to break and the no look.
47:07Sweet.
47:08Reward the big man for running the floor.
47:11Look at that last bit.
47:12I think court awareness is something that guys have to be a parent of.
47:16When you catch the ball you have to know that somebody's coming behind me.
47:19That would have been a quick layup but he tried to go up to dunk it which put P.J.
47:22back in position to be able to make a play on the ball.
47:25That's a rookie learning moment for him.
47:29Hey man, there's big guys lurking all over the place in this league.
47:33Great stuff out of P.J.
47:35A player averaging just over a block a game and over a steal a game along with the 15 points
47:41and nearly eight rebounds.
47:43There's a thrust into the paint, a miss for Vince Williams Jr.
47:47It didn't draw iron so the shot clock doesn't reset.
47:50Six on the clock, 16 on the game clock.
47:53Olmack's in the corner, missed his first four shots, made one a moment ago.
47:57And Scafford who has it.
47:59And it almost lost his balance.
48:01He's attacked the pass and now he's going to attack and transition to try and beat the buzzer.
48:06Got it.
48:11Well, thanks to P.J.
