They are now the 14th ranked team in the Western Conference and are struggling to get back into the playoff places.

Let's have a look at the hits and flops from the game.

Flop - Mike Conley

Over the years, Mike Conley has been one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He has been leading the point guard position for the Grizzlies for a long time now and has been instrumental to their good displays. He was also superb for the Grizzlies during their great start to the season.

But Conley struggled to produce in this match. In fact, the Grizzlies reserves played better than their starters. Conley finished the game with 14 points and 3 assists on 5-14 shooting from the floor. He failed to link up his teammates and could not motivate his team in this tough encounter.

Conley has been having a good year averaging 20 points and 6.3 assists per game for the season. The Grizzlies rely heavily on him and he needs to step up if the Grizzlies want to get back to playoff contention.
