What happened: Jerome has 100 points through the first three games of the season. He joins Ja Morant as the second Memphis player to reach that mark.

Why it matters: Holding the league scoring lead gives Memphis a go-to option in close games. Sustaining that pace would keep Memphis in the early West conversation.

What to watch: Jerome's scoring average gets its next test in Memphis' fourth game. A fourth straight win would extend the unbeaten opening.
