Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo: "Great fight from our guys, 48 minutes. Very short-handed roster but the way guys are sharing the ball, the way they're competing, the way they're enjoying each other's successes. Like today, Rayan Rupert, career-first triple double and everybody on the bench very genuinely happy for him and also in the locker room, that's, at this stage in the season, that's really cool to see."
