Charlotte took a 65-57 lead into the fourth quarter, but it didn't take long for the Grizzlies to erase that deficit.
Conley began driving to the hole and soon the game was tied at 71.
That's when ex-Bobcat Dante Cunningham came to life, scoring uncontested fastbreak dunks on consecutive possessions. Marreese Speights added another dunk off a feed from Conley to stretch the lead to six with 5:25 left. Conley had seven assists.
The Bobcats cut the lead to three on two occasions but couldn't get any closer.
NOTES: Memphis' Rudy Gay and Charlotte's Bismack Biyombo had to be separated after coming face-to-face in the game's final 45 seconds. ... The teams combined for 40 turnovers.
