SALT LAKE CITY — Quentin Grimes is hitting his stride at just the right time for the Dallas Mavericks. The third-year guard continued his impressive run of form Saturday night, scoring a season-high 24 points in a 106-94 win over the Utah Jazz. Grimes knocked down four three-pointers in the first quarter, setting the tone for a game that showcased his growing confidence and impact on both ends of the floor.

“Yeah, just in the groove,” Grimes said of his hot start. “Teammates looking for me, trying to find me because I had a hot hand a little bit. It’s a great feeling when they give me confidence to go out there, shoot the ball, and let it fly. It’s a big confidence boost for sure.”
