Memphis trailed by 12 with 3:47 remaining, then scored the final 17 points of the game to take the lead and secure its second straight win to open the season. The Warriors, meanwhile, fell to 0-2.

Draymond Green was called for an offensive foul on the next possession and then received a technical; Ty Jerome made the technical free throw and added a layup to extend the margin. Golden State’s Yaxel Lendeborg made two free throws with half a second left, but Memphis ran out the clock.

Jerome led all scorers with 28 points, while Jaylen Wells added 17 and Cam Spencer had 11. Memphis shot 46.5% from the field and made 15 of 39 three-point attempts; it outscored Golden State 27-18 in the fourth quarter.

A three-pointer by De’Anthony Melton made it 103-92, and another Melton basket pushed the lead to 106-94. Memphis then responded with the game’s decisive scoring sequence, reversing a finish that appeared to be tilting toward the home team.

The Chronicle’s box score lists Edey with eight points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes; Ike started for Golden State and scored 10 points in 12 minutes. The Chronicle also reported that Ike, a two-way rookie, started alongside Green as the Warriors managed frontcourt absences.

In a Reuters preview published before tipoff, Memphis was described as having traded Morant to Portland during the offseason, with Jerami Grant acquired in that deal. That makes Morant a separate story rather than another name from this game, despite the broader Grizzlies connection. [3](https://www.reuters.com/sports/basketball/warriors-try-regroup-against-revamped-grizzlies--flm-2026-10-23/) The result was a significant early-season win for Memphis, but one comeback does not establish how the team will perform over a full season. The verified story here is narrower: Boozer’s late jumper capped a 17-0 finish, and the Grizzlies escaped with a three-point road victory after trailing by double digits in the closing minutes.
