Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo: “We were playing winning basketball for a long time today and the type of winning basketball that consistent winners play which is winning without making shots. We had 16 more shot attempts during the whole game. You account for the variance in the shooting by playing solid defense and rebounding well and not turning the ball over.”
“We had 14 turnovers but we compensated with 21 offensive rebounds and that’s the way winning teams play. They find a way to win and we got to carry that to the fourth quarter where the level of play for us has dropped dramatically in the fourth quarter after very solid first three quarters.”
