Memphis Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo on what went wrong in their loss against the New Orleans Pelicans: "Several communication mistakes in transition, unmarked guys, offensive rebounds, getting to the strong hand. Yeah, lot of mistakes there and, offensively, couldn't knock down shots."

Iisalo on the Grizzlies losing the possession battle: "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."
