DALLAS -- Chandler Parsons swished a 3-pointer just a few feet from Dallas owner Mark Cuban and turned in the direction of his former boss. Richard Sherman Super Bowl Jersey .Maybe that was Parsons simply trying to say, `Thats what I can do when Im healthy.Parsons scored 12 points in his first game against his former team, helping the Memphis Grizzlies to an 80-64 victory Friday night over the injury-plagued Mavericks, who flirted with franchise worsts for scoring and shooting percentage.Cuban waited out Parsons postgame TV interview before sharing a brief moment with a player who had both his seasons in Dallas shortened by knee surgery, part of the reason he landed in Memphis on a max deal.He just said, glad Im playing and good to see me back out there, Parsons said. Obviously, hes frustrated with how their seasons going, but theyll bounce back.Parsons is on a minutes restriction, just as he was a year ago with the Mavericks. He was 3 of 5 from 3-point range and added a couple of rebounds in 23 minutes.I wish I would have played more, honestly, if it wouldnt have been a little out of hand there, Parsons said. I feel like every game Im getting better, Im getting more legs.Dallas was without Dirk Nowitzki (strained Achilles tendon) and its top three options at point guard in Deron Williams (left calf strain), J.J. Barea (torn left leg muscle) and Devin Harris (right toe sprain).The Mavericks avoided the franchise low of 62 points from 1997 when Argentine rookie Nicolas Brussino made a 3-pointer with 24 seconds remaining. Dallas (2-9) matched its worst start since going 2-9 during Nowitzkis rookie season in 1998-99.If youre looking for me to make some kind of a crazy statement about how bad things are, thats not how I do business, coach Rick Carlisle said. Im going to keep stressing the positives, and were going to keep working to get them better.Harrison Barnes led the Mavericks with 15 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Seth Curry, the starting point guard because of all the injuries, scored 11 while shooting 4 of 14 from the field.Marc Gasol scored 11 for Memphis, as did Tony Allen after missing four games with a right groin injury.FLIRTING WITH DISASTERThe Mavericks were shooting 25.4 percent through three quarters -- the franchise low is 27.4 percent from the expansion season of 1980-81 -- after going 8 1/2 minutes without a field goal in the second quarter and adding a 6 1/2-minute drought in the third.Dallas, which matched a franchise low for the second quarter with 10 points, shot 43 percent in a 23-point fourth to finish at 28.8 percent.A FRIENDLY REMINDERThe Mavericks led 27-23 in the second quarter before a 17-minute stretch in which they scored just six points. The Grizzlies, who have another former Dallas player in Vince Carter, led 51-33 at that point. They were sluggish early two nights after handing the Los Angeles Clippers just their second loss, and in the finale of a four-game road trip.We stopped being friendly, Memphis coach David Fizdale said. If you watched the first quarter, everybody was having conversations with the other team like they were all pals. And we dont have the luxury to be buddies.TIP-INSGrizzlies: Zach Randolph scored 10 points, and JaMychal Green had a game-high 12 rebounds. ... Point guard Mike Conley had a season-low eight points but led the Grizzlies with two blocks.Mavericks: Jonathan Gibson, a training-camp cut who re-signed Friday because of the injuries at point guard, had 11 points and a team-high three assists. ... Barea told a Spanish-language newspaper that he expected to miss four to six weeks with a muscle tear. He said he feared he had a more serious Achilles injury.UP NEXTBoth teams are in a stretch of playing six out of seven games on the road. The Mavericks just had their only home game and are headed to Orlando for the second night of a back-to-back before visiting San Antonio on Monday. The Grizzlies get their only home game in the stretch against Minnesota on Saturday night before a trip to Charlotte and Philadelphia. KWaun Williams Super Bowl Jersey . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. George Kittle Super Bowl Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.authenticsf49erspro.com/Joe-montana-49ers-jersey/ . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. After 162 regular-season games and a bunch more in the postseason, it has come down to the Indians and the Cubs -- one legendarily cursed Midwestern franchise against another. While everyone else crunches the statistical metrics, your friendly uniform columnist is here with 10 uni-related tidbits to watch for as the Series unfolds:1. Moving from Left to Right. It was 20 years ago, during the 1996 Series, that the Yankees and Braves became the first teams to wear the World Series logo on their caps. The logo has always appeared on the left side of the crown, but this year itll be moving to the right side, because the New Era logo is now occupying the left side.2. C Section. Most MLB teams use a standard vinyl decal for their helmet logos, but the Cubs use an adhesive-backed embroidered patch. It provides a nice sense of depth, but it also has a tendency to peel off or end up in some unlikely places.3. Hail to the Chief. The Indians have said that theyre de-emphasizing their Chief Wahoo logo, which is a source of ongoing controversy among fans who think the design is a disparaging caricature of Native Americans. In 2014, the team demoted Wahoo to secondary logo status and designated its block-C logo its primary mark. But Wahoo has been ascendant during the postseason: The Indians wore their Wahoo cap for all three games against the Red Sox in the American League Division Series, and then for all five games against the Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series. Given how superstitious teams can be, it wouldnt be surprising to see the Indians keep wearing it in the Series.4. In the Navy. Clevelands navy alternate jersey has been almost as much of a postseason fixture as the Wahoo cap. The team wore white for Game 1 of the ALDS against Boston but went with the navy tops for its seven remaining playoff games. (One of those was Game 3 of the ALCS in Toronto, when starting pitcher Trevor Bauer -- who usually prefers to wear the standard gray uniform for road games -- went with navy to help hide the blood from his injured finger.) Will the Indians stick with navy to open the Series, or will the grand setting of the Fall Classic lead them to wear the more formal home whites?5. Unique Unis. The Cubbies uniforms may seem standard and traditional at first glance, but theyre loaded with quirks and oddities: The home jersey is the only MLB jersey to include a circle-R trademark symbol on the chest logo; the road pants are the only MLB pants to include a team logo on the pants; and the blue alternate jersey is the only MLB jersey to include a league logo patch.6. Single File. Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr. wears No. Jalen Hurd Super Bowl Jersey. 6, making him part of the small but growing fraternity of pitchers with single-digit uniform numbers. If he gets into a World Series game, he will become the first single-digitized pitcher to appear in the Fall Classic since 1997, when Cleveland reliever Jeff Juden appeared in two games while wearing No. 7.7. Hosiery Heroes. Shortstop Francisco Lindor and outfielders Tyler Naquin and Rajai Davis form the sharpest combo in the majors, at least when it comes to stirrups. It would be nice if Lindor went with pure white sanitaries instead of those spotted Trusox he has been wearing lately, but he has made up for that by wearing Believeland shoes during the postseason.8. Tattoo You. Just in case you didnt know which league you were watching, all MLB players helpfully wear MLBs familiar silhouetted batter logo on the backs of their jerseys, caps, batting helmets, pants and undershirts. But Cubs third baseman Javier Baez takes it a step further: He has a tattoo of the logo on the back of his neck.9. Hold the Cream. The Indians have announced that their cream-toned retro alternate uniform will not be back next season. That uni is usually reserved for Sunday-afternoon home games, but Cleveland isnt scheduled to have any Sunday home dates in this Series (and besides, the World Series hasnt had an afternoon game since 1987), so the creams will presumably remain on the shelf -- the uniform equivalent of the last man on the bench who never gets called upon to pinch hit.10. Nothing Up Their Sleeve. The Cubs wore a very nice Wrigley Field centennial patch this season, but it was removed during the playoffs and replaced by the MLB postseason patch -- an odd move, because team patches and league-wide patches can usually coexist without any problems. Why not wear both?Honorable Mention: Make a Wish. Although the wishbone-C is primarily associated with the Reds these days, lots of teams have worn it over the years, including the Indians and Cubs. That suggests a good metaphor for this years Fall Classic -- two teams tugging on either side of a wishbone, wishing to be delivered from their respective curses.Paul Lukas always roots for the National League team in the World Series.
