QUOTABLE

Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo after the win over the Spurs: "That's a very good team we just beat. I'll rattle off some names: Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, Cedric Coward, Ja Morant, [Olivier-Maxence] Prosper, Jahmai Mashack, John Konchar. These guys are all out and you see how the team is fighting and I'm extremely proud, just like I was after both Laker games."

"This team has zero quit in it. They are fighting, they represent everything that's good. Everybody who's dressing is giving everything they have. They're fighting for each other. They never lose trust in it. They show emotion because they actually care and they fight and I'm incredibly incredibly happy that they finally got some type of pay-off for that. Those are the feelings that I am feeling."
