Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry:
On the loss:
“We didn’t play well enough. We didn’t defend like we have been. They’re a team that struggles offensively and we gave up almost 60 points in the first half. Offensively, I thought we played pretty selfishly. We didn’t move the basketball and we ended up with eight assists in the first half so we weren’t moving the basketball. It’s pretty simple. We didn’t play the type of game we need to play to try to win and it doesn’t matter who it is. It could be the Lakers or Golden State or anybody else.
