Mike Conley 's horrid 3 - of - 14 shooting performance that led to 13 points Thursday against the Clippers was as uncharacteristic as it gets for the veteran point guard , especially when you consider what he was producing coming into Thursday 's game . In the five games prior to Thursday 's blowout , Conley was averaging 29 points per game , but most importantly , he was doing so at a very efficient rate , shooting 55 percent from the field in those five games . Not only did Conley 's 13 points leave him well short of his recent average , but Thursday was the first time since Jan. 25 that the point guard shot under 30 percent from the field and it was his worst shooting performance since Dec. 8 , when he hit just 3 - of - 16 shots from the field overall in a loss to the Jazz . The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies , 114 - 98 , Thursday at FedExForum . The Clippers ( 39 - 26 ) maintained control throughout Thursday 's contest , as they ultimately entered the fourth and final quarter with a 20 - point lead . The convincing victory not only gave Los Angeles their third win in four games , but they also added another game to their lead over the Grizzlies ( 36 - 29 ) , who were creeping on them in the Western Conference standings . Surprisingly , it was Austin Rivers off the bench who led the way for the Clippers , scoring a team - high 20 points on 7 - of - 10 shooting in 32 minutes . Rivers led the way for what ended up being a very impressive outing for the team 's reserves , who managed to score 61 of the team 's 114 points Thursday . Additionally , Blake Griffin nearly added a triple - double in just 30 minutes of playing time , as he recorded 14 points , 12 rebounds and eight assists in that time . For Memphis , Marc Gasol led the way with 20 points on 8 - of - 16 shooting , five rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes . The bigger story for the Grizzlies , however , was the poor play of starting point guard Mike Conley , who shot an abysmal 3 - of - 14 from the field and 0 - of - 4 from behind the arc en route to scoring 13 points in 36 minutes . As a team , Memphis shot a fairly respectable 46 percent from the field , but in the end , their lackluster defensive effort kept them out of Thursday 's contest . Up next , the Clippers will head home Saturday to take on the 76ers , while the Grizzlies , who have now lost four in a row , will try to end that streak against the Hawks on Saturday .
