QUOTABLE

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo on Jaren Jackson slowing down in the second half in the Grizzlies' loss to the Charlotte Hornets: "I don't see basketball as a series of individual performances, it's always a team performance. We didn't knock down a lot of shots in the second half. I thought we had pretty good looks, but couldn't convert those and when that happens, he has less space to attack and the defense is able to collapse and shift on him, so.

"I do think that in the good games where we have played really well as a team, a lot of those, Jaren's touches, he's not the first player whose touching it during the offense but he's getting the second or third touch when the ball's already swung, when it's easier to attack a defense that's not in their shell."
