"Super proud of our performance today. To me, we committed to the things that we didn’t do so well in the Denver game and took the lessons and applied it today. You saw several sequences where the ball is moving great. Guys are making, I wouldn’t call it unselfish. They’re just making the right reads out of the situation." - Grizzlies HC Tuomas Iisalo on Memphis’ performance in New Orleans
