Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry:
On the loss:
“We really didn’t have a handle on it at the start of the game. We got back in the game in the third quarter because I thought we were really terrific. Then we started the fourth quarter on a 7-0 run. Then we were up hill from there. We gave up way too many easy baskets. The back cuts and then some game plan discipline things that we didn’t quite do. This team (Washington Wizards) is really good at making you pay. They got off to a rough start, but they’ve probably played as well as anybody in the league the last month and a half.
