Grizzlies' Mike Conley: Paces team with 26 points in series-ending loss

Conley put up 26 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 45 minutes Thursday in a 103-96 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the series.

Conley's scoring haul was tops on the Grizzlies, but his poor shooting in the first quarter took a bigger night off the table and may have been the difference between Memphis extending the series to seven games and being eliminated. Though the Grizzlies will exit in the first round at the hands of the Spurs for the second straight season, Conley can hold his head high after turning in 20-plus points in the final five games of the series, marking the longest streak in franchise postseason history.
