2nd quarter, Dallas up 18, and they throw it around off the fast break, Dirk Nowitzki with the lay-up to make the gap 20. Dirk with 22 on the night.
End of the half, the Grizzlies cut the lead to ten. But with time expiring, Caron Butler gets it to go, he beats the clock as the Mavs head into the break up by a dozen.
Dallas would not be challenged the rest of the way. The Mavericks snap a two-game slide with a 110-84 victory over the Grizzlies.
