"It's always like the first time when I come back here," Conley said. "These fans basically raised me. This city raised me. There's so many great memories. Every time I come back, I'm flooded with a whole new set of them. I'm truthfully thankful and grateful to still play in front of them." Both the six three-pointers and 10 assists were Conley's season highs. It was the seventh occasion in Wolves history of a player having six threes and 10 assists in a game. The others: D'Angelo Russell (twice), Mo Williams, Kevin Love, Chauncey Billups and Stephon Marbury. At 36 years and 46 days, he became the second-oldest player to do that. The oldest is Jason Kidd, who did it on his 37th birthday in 2010.
