Friday night (Nov. 30) featured another busy night of NBA games on the schedule. It included wins for the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, OKC Thunder, and the Houston Rockets. Here are five NBA players who stood out in their performances from the hardwood.
Mike Conley - Memphis Grizzlies
For a few seasons, the Grizzlies were looking like a mediocre squad incapable of any more success. They're doing decent this latest season thanks to Conley and his cast. The Memphis point guard had 37 points, five boards, and 10 assists in a 131-125 double-overtime win over Brooklyn.
