BOSTON (AP) – Jaylen Brown had a career-high 42 points to help the Boston Celtics earn their 10th straight victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, 126-107. Brown matched his career best of seven 3-pointers made on 10 attempts. Jayson Tatum scored 16 points, Marcus Smart had 14 and Robert Williams III had 10 rebounds for Boston, which hasn’t lost to Memphis since 2016. Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis, which announced earlier in the day it will be without reigning Rookie of the Year Ja Morant for three to five weeks because of a sprained ankle.
