Ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, Josh Hart had an interesting quote related to winning effort from this morning’s shootaround.
Josh Hart: "A lot of people say they want to win, but they don't want to do the dirty work. They don't want to crack back and get rebounds, play defense. If you really want to win, you're going to do those things. You can tell who wants to win by what they do on the court."

The New Orleans Pelicans have not only struggled to defend the three-point line with any consistency this season, there have been far too many moments within games where it was discernible to see an opponent putting forth greater effort in other areas as well.
