QUOTABLE

Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo on loss to Washington Wizards: "We didn't do the things that lead tow inning basketball today. No pace, no ball movement in the second half and then, on top of this, we allowed the other team to bully us and offenisve rebound. We've been one of the best defensive rebounding teams in the whole league, able to keep the possession game in our favor. Today I think they rebounded 41 or 42 percent of their misses which is, obviously, unsustainable.
