Cameron Boozer hits go-ahead jumper with 20 seconds left, Grizzlies rally to beat Warriors 111-108
Boozer finished with 25 points and 13 rebounds as Memphis erased a 12-point deficit and spoiled Golden State’s home opener.
On Friday, Cameron Boozer hit a game-winning jumper with 20 seconds remaining to lift the Memphis Grizzlies past the Golden State Warriors 111-108 in San Francisco.
The Grizzlies rallied from a 12-point deficit in the final 3:47, capitalizing on a late Golden State scoring drought; the Warriors missed nine consecutive shots to close the game.
Boozer finished with 25 points and 13 rebounds, while rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 18 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists in his home debut.
Memphis remains undefeated at 2-0 and travels to Sacramento on Sunday night, while the Warriors head to Phoenix on Saturday.
The matchup featured double-technical fouls involving Grizzlies big man Isaiah Stewart, Warriors forward/center Draymond Green, Lendeborg, and Ty Jerome, reflecting the physicality of the contest.
A decisive ticket from Boozer sealed the Memphis rerun to Golden State, after overcoming a 12-point disadvantage in the final minutes. Curry led the locals with 24 points, but crucial shooting failures allowed visitors to take the victory in a tight duel.
