After a rough four-game road trip, this game was a must win for the Grizzlies to get back on track before the playoffs. They were in search of a hero and found one in “Captain Clutch,” Mike Conley.
Conley ended the first quarter with 16 points (dammmmn), leading the Grizzlies to 38 points first quarter points, tying the mark for most points in a quarter this season.
Because Marc Gasol was out of action, Mike Conley had to be the guy, and he was just that. He continued his elite level production last night with 36 points, three rebounds, six assists and four steals.
