Head coach Tuomas Iisalo after the Grizzlies' loss to the Houston Rockets: "Him and Santi [Aldama] are tasked with bigger guys and different type of roles but they're doing a very admirable job of that and I think us being competitive against the best teams in the league is a testament to that."

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo on the Grizzlies losing the possession battle against the Pelicans: "Unnecessary, several of them. It is, like you said, very difficult to win when the other team dominates the possession game. We know that we're shorthanded, especially at the big spots. Got to come up with the rebounds and be able to be a little bit more disruptive but it really hurts when we're throwing the ball away because those possessions accumulate for the other team."
