Watched Dalllas-Memphis this morning. Pretty shockingly low-energy game from Kyrie with Luka out. Griz may have something in Vince Williams, good shooter who wore Mavs out on offensive glass. – 8:22 AM

Missing Luka and lots of other firepower, the Mavericks fell to the Memphis Grizzlies 108-94 on Friday night. Here’s what Jason Kidd had to say about it.

Off-kilter first quarter for Mavericks, as might have been expected without Luka. They trail 28-20 after 12 minutes. Derrick Jones Jr. 2-of-5 from deep, everyone else 0-of-6. – 8:04 PM
