Mike Conley - Pops for 16 against Lakers Conley chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over the Lakers. Impact The 36-year-old point guard had a bit of a bumpy start to his first full season with Minnesota, but Conley appears to have found a groove in December, scoring in double digits in seven of the last nine games and averaging 14.0 points, 6.4 assists, 2.7 boards, 2.6 threes and 0.9 steals on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor, 46.9 percent from beyond the arc and 92.0 percent from the free-throw line. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) left Thursday's game early, and if his injury proves to be serious, Conley could be needed to help fill the hole on offense left by the big man's absence.
