PLAYER NOTES: --G Javaris Crittenton came off the bench to score a career-high 23 points. He also grabbed nine rebounds and dealt four assists.
"It was all about getting the lead and not being complacent," Crittenton said. "Even with the lead, we played even harder."
--After C Darko Milicic hurt his shoulder in the game's first two minutes and after C Jason Collins played like a stiff because of a sore ankle, C Kwame Brown rose from the depths of the Grizzlies' bench to score 11 points and collect eight rebounds.
"It's good to see Kwame gave us a lift," Iavaroni said. "He played with a good, physical presence. He was active."
Said Brown: "It was good to shake the cobwebs off. I haven't played in 12 to 14 games. That running in a game is nothing like running on the treadmill."
