Boozer's Late Basket Caps Memphis Comeback at Golden State
Memphis erased an 11-point deficit in the final five minutes with a 17-0 run and beat Golden State 111-108. Cam Boozer finished with 25 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, including the go-ahead basket with 20.1 seconds left. Zach Edey's on-court impact helped Memphis despite modest traditional statistics.
Memphis secured its first road victory this season and opened a four-game trip by overturning an 11-point hole in the last five minutes. Cam Boozer posted 25 points, 13 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes, then hit the decisive runner against Brandin Podziemski with 20.1 seconds remaining.
Zach Edey scored only eight points, yet Memphis’s net rating while he played was +82.4, the team’s best. Ty Jerome added 28 points on 11-of-22 shooting and five assists. Memphis committed 25 turnovers but forced 19 Golden State giveaways.
This comeback may give Memphis fans a morale boost and could strengthen the team’s early-season confidence, especially for Boozer and Edey. It may also draw more casual viewers to follow the Grizzlies’ road trip and spark local sports conversation. For Golden State supporters, the loss could prompt frustration, while analysts may use the late collapse to discuss rotation decisions. Broader societal impact likely remains limited to entertainment and community identity.
