Grizzlies Set to Battle Mavericks at American Airlines Center
As the Memphis Grizzlies prepare to face off against the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center, fans are eager to see if the team can continue their recent upswing. The Grizzlies, who have had a challenging season with more losses than wins, showed signs of resurgence in their last game against the Utah Jazz.
In that matchup, Memphis displayed a strong offensive performance with a field goal percentage of 49 and an effective field goal percentage of 57 percent. Their ability to dominate in points in the paint was evident as they scored 58 points from close range, converting an impressive 64 percent of those attempts. The team also excelled on fast breaks, scoring 23 points with a conversion rate of over 70 percent.
However, consistency has been an issue for Memphis this season. In their previous game against Minnesota Timberwolves, despite putting up a good fight and scoring heavily from the bench with 42 points contributed by non-starters, they were unable to secure victory due to lower overall shooting percentages and less time leading during the game.
Against Phoenix Suns too, while they managed some success in second-chance points and maintained decent shooting percentages inside the arc with nearly 60 percent two-point field goals made, it wasn't enough as they trailed behind for most of the game duration.
The upcoming contest will be challenging as Dallas Mavericks' home court advantage at American Airlines Center could play a significant role. The venue is known for its energetic atmosphere which often boosts home team performances while adding pressure on visiting teams.
Fans can catch this exciting NBA action on December 2nd at half past midnight UTC. Broadcast networks BSSW and BSSE will be televising live coverage from channels 676 and 649 respectively for home and away fans looking forward to witnessing whether Memphis Grizzlies can turn their flashes of brilliance into consistent winning form.
