Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry:
On overall thoughts of the game:
“I thought we competed and played extremely hard. I think we did a lot of good things by getting AD loose out on the floor and then in the post with a little movement. He was able to do what he does best. We just came up short, but we have to keep plugging away and get over the hump.”
On playing from behind:
“We dug ourselves in a hole and struggled shooting in the second quarter. We are playing to catch up and not playing to win.
