Pelicans Head Coach Alvin Gentry:
On the performance of the team tonight compared to their performance against the Cavs and Spurs:
“Disappointed. I am just really disappointed. We keep taking a step forward and a step back. We have no excuses; we have all of our players back besides Quincy (Pondexter), and we must do a much better job if we want to be a competitive team. We have to compete against a team like that. We did not do that tonight, and the result is what it is.”
On sending a message to any of the players:
“I am not trying to send a message to anyone.
