Grizzlies maintain their perfect record

With this personal achievement, Boozer, the third pick in this year's draft, became the second-youngest player in league history to record a "triple-double" at 19 years and 103 days old, behind Josh Giddey, who achieved it in 2022 at 19 years and 84 days old.

Boozer commented on his achievement, saying, "It's great. I will continue to work in the same way. The season is still in its early stages, and we still have 77 games to go."

With this victory, the Grizzlies raised their tally to five wins without a single loss, drawing attention away from Ja Morant's return to face his former team, where his professional career began.

Morant, the Trail Blazers' point guard, had a difficult evening against the team that drafted him in 2019 and for which he played for seven seasons before leaving after years marked by recurring injuries.

Morant was limited to 14 points before being forced to leave the court during the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury, watching his team's first loss of the season from the bench.

Except for Memphis, the Houston Rockets remain the only team to maintain an undefeated record, having also achieved five consecutive victories.

Pelicans end winless streak

The New Orleans Pelicans needed five games to secure their first win of the season, led by Jeremiah Fears to a 132-120 victory over the Sacramento Kings, recording 22 points, 13 assists, and 8 rebounds.

The 20-year-old point guard said after the match, "We didn't have a good start at all, but for sure we have started moving in the right direction and are working to change our course."

The Pelicans had started the season with four consecutive losses before finally managing to break the winless streak.

On the other hand, Sacramento suffered its fifth defeat, despite the remarkable performance of its rising player Darius Acuff Jr., who scored 34 points with 14 assists, continuing his brilliance after scoring 33 points last week against Portland.

In another match, the Atlanta Hawks achieved a difficult 114-111 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, benefiting from an offensive surge during the third quarter in which they scored 43 points.

Onyeka Okongwu excelled by scoring 29 points with 12 rebounds, while Canadian Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 25 points, and Aaron Wiggins contributed 20 points off the bench, giving Atlanta its first home win of the 2026-2027 season.

The final minutes saw great excitement after Donovan Mitchell, who scored 22 points, missed two attempts from beyond the arc; had one of them been successful, it would have given Cleveland a chance to force overtime.
