Memphis takes its opening-night momentum to San Francisco
Ty Jerome enters Memphis' next game against the Golden State Warriors after scoring 45 points in the Grizzlies' 123–103 season-opening victory over the Utah Jazz. The matchup at Chase Center is scheduled for Friday, October 23, in San Francisco, or 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, in the Philippines.
Jerome's scoring helped Memphis begin 1–0, while Golden State enters 0–1 after losing its opener. The Utah performance belongs to the Grizzlies' previous game; the Warriors matchup had not taken place when this preview was prepared.
The 20-point winning margin gives Memphis a strong starting result, but Jerome's next appearance will be a different test. Golden State can prepare for him with the Utah game available for review, while Memphis must reproduce its offensive execution away from home.
One opening-night total should not be treated as a sustainable season average or a prediction for the next game. Its immediate value is to identify the player who drove Memphis' first win and the scoring threat that Golden State must address.
The teams also arrive with contrasting longer-term results. Memphis finished 25–57 last season, while the Warriors were 37–45, according to the Associated Press preview. A single new-season game cannot settle whether either team has changed that trajectory.
For Philippine readers, the confirmed viewing date is Saturday morning. Jerome's 45 points provide the lead-in; his performance against Golden State and the final result will only be established once the next game is played.
