The Memphis Grizzlies love their 'Masked Assassin' Mike Conley.

After the Golden State Warriors dominated the Grizzlies in Game 1, the series was already looking bleak for Memphis.

Then point guard, clad in a face mask to shield his still-healing steel faceplates, showed up to lead his team to victory, dropping 22 points in 27 minutes and finishing 8-for-12 from the field to help even up the series.

It's only right that that achievement should be celebrated. Fans attending Game 3 on Saturday will receive face masks. Not clear like Conley's, but still cool.

As for Conley, who has regained feeling in the left side of his face, he is waiting for a new mask of his own for Saturday's action.
