The Memphis Grizzlies remained unbeaten with a 124–103 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers on October 29, 2026. Rookie Cameron Boozer recorded the first triple-double of his NBA career with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists.

What was the final Grizzlies–Trail Blazers score?

Memphis defeated Portland 124–103 at Moda Center. The NBA's official game page confirms the result, and the Associated Press game report carried by CBS Sports details the major performances. The Grizzlies improved to 5–0; Portland fell to 3–1.

The score was tied 58–58 at halftime after each team scored 25 points in the first quarter and 33 in the second. Memphis then won the third quarter 33–25 and the fourth 33–20, a combined 66–45 second-half advantage. The separation was sustained rather than the result of a single late shot.

How did Cameron Boozer get his first NBA triple-double?

Boozer finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, reaching double figures in three statistical categories for the first time in his NBA career. That playmaking contribution matters: the 12 assists indicate he helped create scoring opportunities for teammates, not merely his own points.

The box score also reflects a balanced Memphis attack. Isaiah Stewart contributed 18 points off the bench, while several other Grizzlies reached double figures. The broad scoring distribution helped Memphis maintain pressure even when the game remained close early.

What changed after halftime?

Memphis and Portland were level at the break, but the Grizzlies' third-quarter surge opened the first sustained gap. A 10–0 run helped Memphis reach an 87–75 advantage late in the third, according to the AP game account. The Grizzlies continued to score in the fourth and ultimately outscored Portland by 13 points in the final period.

The result was not simply a poor shooting night by one player. Memphis found multiple sources of offense and limited Portland to 20 fourth-quarter points. That combination turned a tight first half into a comfortable final margin.

Who led Portland, and what happened with Ja Morant?

Deni Avdija scored 24 points for the Trail Blazers, adding nine rebounds and seven assists in the AP account. Ja Morant, now playing for Portland, scored 14 points against his former team but left in the fourth quarter with a hamstring problem and did not return, the report said.

That game exit should not be converted into a speculative diagnosis or recovery schedule. No definitive return date was established in the verified reporting used for this article. Portland's next official injury update is the appropriate source for any change in his status.

What comes next for the two teams?

The AP game recap listed Memphis' next game at Sacramento and Portland's next game at Utah. For scheduling changes or player availability, readers should use the NBA game center and team updates. Memphis' unbeaten start is an early-season result, not a guarantee of future performance.
