Mike Conley entered Game 1 of the Memphis Grizzlies' first-round tilt with the Portland Trail Blazers hobbled, hurting and hounded by a right foot sprain, but that didn't stop him from turning the Grindhouse into a flex zone.
And if Conley was feeling any ill effects from the nagging injury, he didn't tip his hand on the court.
As the Grizzlies handled the Blazers 100-86 on Sunday night, Conley scored 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting in his first appearance since April 10. In true Conley fashion, all six of his conversions came inside the paint, with surprising off-the-dribble burst propelling him toward the rim.
