Quote of Note
"Parsons looked tired out there tonight to me, and his shot was short He's working on losing some weight. He's a little heavier than he's been. He's up over 230 and we would like to see him get down to at least 225. That's a work in progress. Tonight's one of those nights where I think the extra weight was a hinderance."
Rick Carlisle calling on Chandler Parsons to lose some weight.
