Conley played in the first two back-to-backs of the season, but resting him Wednesday is part of a bigger plan for the 37-year old point guard. “We’re not a rest team generally ... But we had the mindset this season to be a little more proactive with Mike,” Wolves coach Chris Finch said.
Trail Blazers: The Blazers were without starting point guard Anfernee Simons, who left Tuesday’s game with shortness of breath. “He just didn’t feel very well today,” head coach Chauncey Billups said. Billups said he expected further tests and that Simons doesn’t seem worried. Portland was also without Robert Williams, who is being held out of back-to-backs.Shaedon Sharpe’s put-back slam dunk with 5:26 left in the game put Portland up 91-83, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
