Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo: “I was very proud of our guys. There’s not a group that deserves it more. We’ve been working very hard and trying to figure this thing out and everybody’s being stretched to the limit and it’s great to see a day when everything just clicks and we play great as a collective. Very very high effort, great focus defensively and offensively, setting the franchise record for assists in a game, 42, with seven turnovers only. Great ball movement, overall a great collective win.”
