Video summary

Press to jump

0:39Memphis and Portland tip off at Moda Center.
4:47The second quarter begins after a closely contested opening period.
8:34The third quarter opens with three-pointers and defensive stops at both ends.
12:47Fourth-quarter action begins; the final result comes at 16:40.
16:51Boozer credits defensive stops for Memphis's second-half control in his courtside interview.
17:28The postgame graphic records Boozer's first career triple-double: 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.

Cam Boozer's explanation starts with defense: "I mean, we started to get stops, you know, they're a hard team to guard."

By the time he gives that courtside interview, Memphis has turned a close opening half in Portland into a comfortable win. Boozer has his first career triple-double, and the Grizzlies have their fifth straight victory to start the season.

The NBA's highlights have drawn about 830,000 views in just under a day, more than eleven times the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. The comment section is also more than four times as busy as usual, with much of the conversation focused on how Memphis shares the work.

Boozer's shot selection, rebounding position and willingness to avoid forcing plays get particular attention. Other viewers invoke the Grizzlies' old "Grit and Grind" identity, connecting this team's collective effort with a familiar Memphis basketball tradition.

The footage shows the separation happening after halftime. Memphis builds a double-digit lead late in the third quarter and carries that control through the fourth, finishing with a 124-103 victory.

The postgame graphic gives Boozer his individual milestone. His own assessment stays brief: "I mean, it's nice. You know, I'ma keep going."

What viewers say

Cam Boozer will be Rookie Of The Year , he is so mature. He didnt force shots, has high IQ and his position for rebound is extraordinary for rookie.
