MEMPHIS, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Rookie Brendan Haywood scored 11 of his 17 points in the decisive second quarter Tuesday night and Richard Hamilton poured in 30 as the Washington Wizards posted a 91-81 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Haywood and Hamilton combined for 19 points in the second quarter as Washington outscored Memphis, 30-14, to take a 58-41 lead into halftime. The Grizzlies, who were 13 of 45 from the field in the middle two quarters, did not get closer than 10 the rest of the way.
The 7-foot Haywood was five of 10 from the field and also contributed 15 rebounds in 32 minutes off the bench. The Wizards ended a four-game road losing streak to the Grizzlies, who moved from Vancouver prior to this season.

The Grizzlies were led by Jason Williams, who paced four players in double figures with 17 points and also dished out 11 assists. Rookie Shane Battier, who played a game-high 42 minutes, and Rodney Buford added 14 points apiece.
