Brown scores career-high 42, Celtics beat Memphis 126-107

BOSTON (AP) Jaylen Brown had a career-high 42 points before sitting out the fourth quarter on Wednesday night, when the Boston Celtics coasted to their 10th straight victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, 126-107.

''He's just really improved. Worked hard to improve,'' Celtics coach Brad Stevens said of the fourth-year forward, who has also been one of the leaders of the team's social justice efforts. ''Got a lot on his plate. He wants to have a lot on his plate, and that's good.''

Jayson Tatum scored 16 points and Marcus Smart had 14 before they, too, sat out the fourth quarter of the blowout.
