Tuomas Iisalo explains Grizzlies’ 6-0 start and team culture

Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo credited team unselfishness, preparation, and bench depth for their unbeaten 6-0 start following a 136-105 win over the Sacramento Kings. The Grizzlies scored 81 bench points despite being shorthanded. With the victory, Memphis matched its franchise record for the best start to a season and became the NBA's only remaining undefeated team.

Iisalo specifically praised Cam Spencer for recording 13 assists without a turnover, as well as Kris Murray's defensive and positional impact. The head coach noted that the players committed during the summer to rebound from a difficult prior campaign, though he warned the squad against complacency with 76 games left in the regular season.
