Trail Blazers’ Caleb Love, Coach Ronnie Burrell Discuss Grizzlies Loss

The Portland Trail Blazers Summer League squad fell 96-86 to the Memphis Grizzlies in their second game Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Along with Portland’s first-round pick Yang Hansen, two other members from the team spoke with media following the loss: Blazers two-way contract guard Caleb Love and Portland Summer League head coach Ronnie Burrell.

For the second consecutive game, Love scored 18 points, although he got there on less efficiency this time around. The 6-foot-4 guard got that total on 7-21 shooting in the loss, to go along with one assist and one rebound. He also shot 3-9 on 3-pointers.

In his three-minute postgame interview, Love discussed how he thought he and the team played; how he wants to improve as a playmaker; what the team can do better in its next outing; and his thoughts on Yang, among other topics:

In Burrell’s four-minute postgame interview, the coach discussed the physicality in the Memphis game; wanting a better effort on the glass; the performances by Love and Blazers two-way contract forward Sidy Cissoko; and a whole lot about Yang’s second game in a Blazers uniform, among other topics:

The Blazers play their next Summer League game against the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
