Mike Conley is the Quiet Place
Jun 1, 2021, 8:54 AM EDT Mike Conley guarding Ja Morant.| Justin Ford/Getty Images Of the 10 starters in last night’s pivotal Game 4 between the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies, Mike Conley hoisted the fewest shots.But he may have had the biggest impact at the most pivotal moments in the classic understated fashion he’s become known for during his 12-year career.The 33-year-old, who finally made his first NBA All-Star team at the ripe age of 33, was the study of a savvy veteran unmoved by the pressure of the moment and unfazed by the shiny brilliance of Ja Morant , an emerging supernova 12 years his junior.Conley entered the contest with his Jazz holding a four-point lead with six minutes and change remaining.A minute later, he sank a triple to extend that edge from two to five.He set up Rudy Gobert for a close-range opportunity that led to free throws.
Then, Conley ripped the heart out of the same Grizzlies faithful who grew to love him for his hard-nose effort on both ends of the court.
With 3:30 left he swiped the ball from Morant and casually knocked down a three-pointer that proved to be insurmountable.It wasn’t the sexiest sequence ripe for social sharing.It was no less important or devastating.I thought the most important play for the Jazz in Game 4 was this play by Mike Conley.The Grizzlies cut the Jazz lead to 2 but moments later with 3:30 left Mike stole the ball from Ja Morant and then went down and buried a three to move the lead to 7.#TakeNote #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/5HvYtBBqis — Jeremiah Jensen (@JJSportsBeat) June 1, 2021 Related Articles.
