Postgame quotes: Coach Monty Williams

Pelicans Coach Monty Williams following Game 1:

Q.           So, Steve Kerr said the Warriors got what they wanted.  They won the first game.  You didn't, but you proved that you could compete in a very tough arena.  How much of what you wanted is that?

COACH WILLIAMS:  Well, he's right. They got what they wanted.  I thought we settled down, which is a win for us, but we're not satisfied with just settling down.  We gave up so many easy baskets that it got their crowd into it.  They got a lot of juice.

But we did figure out some things tonight.  We've got to be a lot better figuring out some small, small screens and our pick\u2011and\u2011roll defense tonight was poor, especially in the first…
