Dave Joerger: 'It was a tremendous game to be involved in'

Memphis Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger has admitted that his side's dramatic victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night was a "tremendous" game to be involved in.

The Grizzlies twice lost leads in the final quarter, before securing a 111-105 win in overtime to level the first-round playoff series at 1-1.

"Tremendous game to be a part of," Joerger told reporters. "I honestly can tell you that, whether you win or lose. I know that we won. But I thought it was a great game to be a part of.

"The game was never over. There was a lot of great plays and not just the ball-going-in kind of plays - loose ball, passion, playoff basketball."

Game three of the Western Conference series takes place on Thursday.
