The Memphis Grizzlies clinched their seventh consecutive playoff berth, the third-longest active streak in the NBA, by defeating the Dallas Mavericks 99-90 Friday night at FedExForum.
Mike Conley led all scorers with 28 points and six assists. Conley has recorded 22-or-more points in his past five games and is averaging 23.7 points per game this month, the highest average for a calendar month in his career.
The Grizzlies torched the nets early in the game. Having already shattered their previous season record (620) for three-pointers made in a single season, with their 11th three-point field goal of the night, Memphis has now made 705 shots from beyond the arc this season.
