Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo on loss to OKC Thunder: "I don't think it was only the final stretch. I thought our defense in the second half was of much lower quality than in the first half. I thought we did a great job at the point-of-attack in the first half and also being in the gaps, not allowing them driving lanes. Then in the second half, we allowed them to get into the paint, starting with point-of-attack defense but also our defensive help wasn't there."
"Then we compounded the mistakes by giving them several and-ones in those situations and when you do that, now you're in a slow-down game with the Thunder, where they're very good at disruption and getting you out of your sets and I thought in the end, again, we didn't play as fast as we could have or move the ball as we could. You just see the difference in let's say the experience in these type of situations."
