- (Sports Network) - Memphis continues a four-game road swing Friday when they visit Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena.
The Grizzlies opened the trip with a 100-95 loss at Sacramento, the Kings' first triumph of the year.
Rookie O.J. Mayo had 28 points for the Grizzlies, who fell to miserable 1-25 at Sacramento.
Rudy Gay had 18 points and Kyle Lowry finished with 14 points and seven assists for Memphis, which fell to 0-3 on the road this season.
The Grizzlies will finish their trip with visits to Denver and Phoenix.
The Warriors improved to 2-3 on the young season when Stephen Jackson scored a game-high 29 points and dished out seven assists, leading the Warriors to a 111-101 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
Brandan Wright added a career-high 18 points to go along with 13 rebounds for his first career double-double for the Warriors, who have won two of three after opening the season with two losses.
Kelenna Azubuike added 22 points and eight rebounds, while Andris Biedrins tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds for his 12th consecutive double-double.
Golden State will be looking to avenge an embarrassing 90-79 loss to the Grizzlies in Memphis on Monday, while the Grizz look to turn around their recent misfortunes away from home. Memphis is already 0-3 on the road this season and have lost 25 of their last 29 road encounters. Meanwhile, they have lost four straight in Oakland.
The Warriors will likely be without high-scoring forward Corey Maggette for a second straight game due to a sore left hamstring.
