QUOTABLE

Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo after their win over the Utah Jazz: "I thought we were the more consistent team, consistent effort. Execution was very bad to start the game from us, was kind of understandable with the roles that we had out there and the little break, but I thought, especially second half, our defense stepped up a lot, created some transition opportunities and, overall, won the possession game and created better quality works and deserved to win."
