When Memphis Grizzly orchestrator, Mike Conley, suffered a facial fracture against the Portland Trailblazers in Round 1 of the NBA playoffs, Portland's Damian Lillard played his best game of the series the next game out.

For Grizzlies opponents, the recipe is simple: No Mike Conley? No Problem.

The Grizzlies lost their Round 2 opener, 101-86, to the No. 1 overall seed, the Golden State Warriors. But unfortunately for Warriors fans, you can't keep Mike Conley sidelined for long.
