QUOTABLE

Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo on the final possession against the Sixers: "We went through that we had had a foul to give over in the timeout, that was one of the things we wanted, if presented with the opportunity. But we were also very cognizant of the fact that they have a couple of players that are very good that if you foul in the wrong point with the pick-up that you're going to end up with a free throw right there or send the game to the free throw line. So, those are the end-game situations. I thought, overall, we played a very good game, unfortunately ball didn't bounce to us in the end."
