OAKLAND, Calif., March 31 (UPI) -- O.J. Mayo finished with 24 points and 10 assists Monday to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a come-from-behind 114-109 win over Golden State.

Mike Conley and Rudy Gay scored 21 points apiece for the Grizzlies, while Hakim Warrick scored 16 points, Marc Gasol had 14 and Hamed Haddadi finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.

Monta Ellis led the Warriors with 29 points. Jamal Crawford scored 26 and Golden State was a perfect 20-for-20 from the free throw line.

The Warriors were decimated by injuries. Marco Belinelli (right ankle), Stephen Jackson (left foot), Corey Maggette (head contusion) and Brandan Wright (left shoulder) all sat out the contest.

The Warriors collectively went cold in the fourth quarter -- making just two of their first 22 shots in the period as their 90-81 lead turned into a comfortable lead for Memphis.
