PELICANS HEAD COACH ALVIN GENTRY
ON TONIGHT’S GAME:
“I just thought we played about as perfect as you have to play to beat them. They’re just such a great team. They just keep coming at you, we were never comfortable. We got up 11 and felt pretty good about it, but four possessions later it’s a one-point game. You just have to keep playing against this group and you have to keep executing, you can’t get down. We tried to stop all the big runs by taking a timeout. They scored a couple baskets, we tried to take a timeout and just get our guys back in line and understand that we just have to stop the big runs against them.
