Pelicans Head Coach Alvin Gentry:
On what spun momentum after a strong first quarter:
“The second quarter we started playing actually like we hadn’t played in a long time. I thought we were a little selfish. I didn’t think we had very good ball movement. We started out the game great. We had eight assists the first quarter. We had two assists the second quarter. I didn’t think the ball movement was there.”
On the defensive effort tonight:
“We didn’t play with a sense of urgency defensively like we’ve been playing.
