Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry on Tuesday's game:
“You know, they’re a great basketball team. They’re the world champs and they got off to a great start. I thought we did a good job of really fighting our way back into the game. At one point we even got ahead by a point, I think, but then we did a very poor job of rebounding. We gave up way, way, way too many offensive rebounds. This is not a team that you can give up second shots to. They are such a threat and usually when you give them a second shot, it’s to a wide-open guy standing at the three-point line.
