Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo after loss to Charlotte Hornets: "Tough back-to-back, obviously, for us coming off a game yesterday against Boston and the travel. Thought we gave a good fight tonight but you can see why Charlotte has been very successful especially after the New Year's. They move the ball really well, play defense with purpose and they rebound the ball and when they're shooting the ball like that, very difficult team to stop."
