The Memphis Grizzlies secured a 120–106 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference play-in game on Friday, April 18, 2025, clinching the eighth seed and setting up a first-round matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite Anthony Davis's 40-point effort, the Mavericks fell short, concluding a turbulent season marked by the departures of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. Dončić's trade to the Lakers and Irving's injury left Dallas undermanned, while Klay Thompson struggled to fill the leadership void. Memphis capitalized on the Mavericks' instability, advancing to the playoffs with momentum.
The moment of the night was Ja's punch in the first half.
