After the firing of Willie Green 24 hours earlier, new interim coach James Borrego clearly wasn't in a sentimental mood in his first game in charge of the New Orleans Pelicans against the Golden State Warriors at Smoothie King Center on Sunday.
Kevon Looney's first game against the Warriors was supposed to be a notable event given his stature as a 3x champion at the franchise, yet it proved rather underwhelming as Borrego made the unthinkable decision of letting the veteran center rot on the bench for the entire 48 minutes.

Looney may have been the biggest loser from the coaching change, having not only lost his starting role but also his entire spot in the rotation despite the ongoing absence of star forward Zion Williamson.
