New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry was very pleased with the effort on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Anthony Davis finally showed that fire after devouring LaMarcus Aldridge in the fourth quarter and his teammates rode that energy to a convincing 104-90 victory. With a hole this deep at 2-11 the Pelicans cannot afford a lull in energy as the Phoenix Suns come to visit the Crescent City.
Last season these Pelicans were excellent at home, posting a 28-13 record. So far this season they are just 2-4 and have a pair of "bad" losses against the Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets.
