The New Orleans Pelicans are off to a 3-0 start as the highest-scoring team in the NBA.
But coach Alvin Gentry would like to see a little more balance between his team's offense and its defense, beginning with a home game against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
"Somewhere along the line they have to come to a state of equilibrium where they're both pretty good," Gentry said after practice Thursday.
New Orleans took a step in that direction in a 116-109 victory against the Clippers on Wednesday. In their first two games, the Pelicans had outscored the Rockets, 131-112, and the Kings, 149-129.
