ROOKIE TAKES OVER: Cameron Boozer's First Triple-Double Keeps Grizzlies Perfect

Rookie Cameron Boozer recorded his first career triple-double on Thursday night, October 29, leading the Memphis Grizzlies to a 124-103 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Boozer finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists as Memphis improved to 5-0. The Grizzlies and the Houston Rockets are the last two unbeaten teams in the NBA, according to Reuters' roundup.

Memphis pulled away after halftime, outscoring Portland 66-45 in the second half to hand the Trail Blazers their first loss of the season. Reserve Isaiah Stewart added 18 points, and Cedric Coward chipped in 17 points, seven rebounds and three steals.

Deni Avdija led Portland with 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, but it was not enough to keep pace once Memphis took control. The game also featured a notable reunion: Portland's Ja Morant, playing against the Grizzlies for the first time since being traded in June after seven seasons in Memphis, had 14 points and three assists in 23 minutes before leaving in the fourth quarter with a left hamstring injury.

Elsewhere on Thursday night, Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak with a 114-111 home win over Cleveland, behind a season-high 29 points from Onyeka Okongwu, and New Orleans broke into the win column with a 132-120 victory over Sacramento.
