The New Orleans Pelicans will face a San Antonio Spurs squad tonight that’s in a noticeable tailspin after beginning the season with five wins in their first seven games. Since that good stretch, the Spurs have managed to notch just a lone victory in their last 11 contests.
The mindset, thus, should be very similar to New Orleans’ approach against Golden State, a team without four of their five starters: Ignore the level of competition and simply put forth your best foot forward.
“We spoke about it in the locker room that we just need to play to our standards,” Willie Green said after Monday’s 128-83 victory over the Warriors.
