Dallas has now won nine of their last ten games and advanced to the knockout round of the NBA Cup, owning the point differential over the Phoenix Suns, thanks mostly to the large win over the Pelicans a few weeks ago. This team is playing its best basketball of the season and will carry that into the knockout stage next week.

The 2024 NBA Cup quarterfinals are set, and the Thunder will host the Dallas Mavericks in the first knockout round. Five spots in the eight-team bracket were clinched Tuesday as group play concluded, and the Knicks, Bucks, and Thunder were among the night's notable winners.

The Mavericks shot 26 free throws in the final quarter, while the Grizzlies shot 14 over the course of the entire game. The final free throw tally finished Dallas 44, Memphis 14.
