Morrow, making his first NBA start on Saturday, had 37 points—the highest point total by an undrafted player in his rookie season—and 11 rebounds as the Warriors (4-6) defeated the

Stephen Jackson, who added 20 points and a season-high 10 assists against Los Angeles, averaged 26.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in two wins over the Blazers in Oakland last season.
