Pelicans Head Coach Alvin Gentry:
On the final possessions of the game:
“We have to try to push the ball. We had timeouts left. The one thing we tried to emphasize is that if we don’t have a shot then we can take a timeout and we took a couple of shots maybe where we should have taken timeouts.”
On capitalizing on turnovers and limiting offensive rebounds:
“At the end of the day, we played hard. Now we’ve got to play smarter. I did think we competed at the level that we needed to, but we have to convert.
