Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo: "Confidence comes from the body of work. So, you keep working on the daily basis and eventually it'll work out. You need to win for that, though. It's very hard to build confidence if you're consistently losing. It's like the same question, always, why do great teams have great chemistry? Which one comes first, the winning or the chemistry? It's great to be around other guys when you're winning, and when it's losing it tests you and it reveals a lot of that character. We're in that phase right now, we're losing, we're being tested and there's only one way out from there."
