Execution was very bad to start the game from us, was kind of understandable with the roles that we had out there and the little break, but I thought, especially second half, our defense stepped up a lot, created some transition opportunities and, overall, won the possession game and created better quality works and deserved to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Toledo is a contributor to Memphis Grizzlies On SI.
