Sometimes teams need to be called out when they aren’t playing hard, which is exactly what Josh Hart did before the New Orleans Pelicans played the Memphis Grizzlies.
Hart had grown tired of watching his teammates go through the motions (join the club) and had some harsh words about effort that may have been veiled critiques.
Hart’s words seemed to have the desired effect, as the New Orleans Pelicans played with a renewed sense of urgency against their rival Memphis Grizzlies.
