Canada’s Zach Eddy posts double-double to lead Grizzlies over Mavericks

DALLAS – Santi Aldama scored 20 points, including a left-handed driving shot that started a tiebreaking 6-0 run in the final minute for Memphis, and Cam Spencer added 15 of his 17 points off the bench in the second half as the Grizzlies beat the Dallas Mavericks 109-6 on Saturday night.

Zach Eddy had 12 points and a season-high 15 rebounds for his first double-double in four games since returning from offseason ankle surgery for the Grizzlies (6-11) who have won back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Klay Thompson scored a season-high 22 off the bench and had a season-best six 3-pointers for the Mavericks (5-13), who split a home run and have yet to win back-to-back games this season.

After Memphis’ Cedric Coward followed Aldama’s basket with a free throw with 27.6 seconds left, Thompson’s straight 3-pointer hit from 29 feet into the rim seconds later and was rebounded by Memphis’ Vince Williams Jr. Thompson and Williams both went 29 feet for technical fours early in the game.

Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft, had 12 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes after scoring a season-high 29 in Friday’s 118-113 win over New Orleans.

The Mavericks led 46-43 at halftime, the Grizzlies’ lowest-scoring first half this season. When Memphis beat Dallas 118-104 on Nov. 7, the Grizzlies scored 74 points in the first half.

Both teams lost big men to injury. Memphis Joe Lendl left in the first quarter with a neck injury. Dallas’ PG Washington went to the locker room with about five minutes left because of a back injury.

Memphis’ Jeron Jackson Jr. missed his second straight game with a sprained right ankle.

Grizzlies: Host the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

Mavericks: Visit the Miami Heat on Monday in the first of four consecutive road games.
