Pelicans Head Coach Alvin Gentry:
On if tonight’s loss was due to lack of finishing:
“No, I didn’t think we started the game the right way so it’s not so much the way we finished, it’s the way we started the game. We didn’t start the game the right way. You can’t then turn it on at the end and think everything’s going to be OK. We got beat. The 50/50 balls became 80/20 balls and we just didn’t do what was necessary as far as boxing out, rebounding, coming up with loose balls, and things like that.
