QUOTABLE

Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo after their loss to the Detroit Pistons: "I wouldn't necessarily call it inconsistency. We struggled with their size and physicality the whole night. 74 points in the paint, that pretty much tells the story."

Iisalo on Ty Jerome: "Ty's been very solid for us the whole time. He's turned into one of the premiere creators in the whole league, able to create shots for himself and for others, and he gets the toughest assignments every night. Today, Pistons were able to put a lot of length, lot of physicality on him. They also stepped up on the pick-and-rolls to try to get the ball out of his hands, but somehow he always finds a way."
