The Memphis Grizzlies gritted and grinded their way to a road win against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday to even up the playoff series at one game a piece.
The win was largely thanks to the return of Mike Conley who scored a team-leading 22 points (on 8-12 shooting) and dished out three assists in 27 minutes of action.
Conley had missed the series opener due to facial fractures and he had to wear a protective mask during Game 2.
For Game 3, the Grizzlies have found a perfect way to celebrate Conley’s heroics: free masks for all!

Granted, these aren’t as intimidating as Conley’s clear mask but Grizzlies fans will get a nice memento for this year’s playoffs and a prop to use for future Phantom of the Opera community theater plays, so this really does look like a win-win for everyone involved.
