Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry:
On Utah’s final surge and its impact on the Pelicans’ finish:
“It did (have an impact). I think it was a 12-0 run or a 14-0 run. We couldn’t get any stops and we had a couple of crucial turnovers and they took advantage of it. It was just an uphill battle the whole game. We couldn’t get stops at the start of the game and then we had trouble scoring. I thought we played well (in) the second quarter. Came out (in) the third quarter and we just didn’t have the energy that we needed.
