Coach Gentry determines Pelicans' finishing lineup 'by feel'

The New Orleans Pelicans starting lineup is static.

Their finishing one isn’t.

While the three faces of the Pelicans — Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and Jrue Holiday — are nearly always in place when the game reaches its fever pitch, it’s unclear exactly who will be with them, particularly at point guard.

While veteran starter Rajon Rondo would seemingly be the obvious choice, due to his name recognition and famous passing skills, he’s logged nearly half of the “clutch” minutes as Ian Clark over the past 10 games, and hasn’t been a fixture in the Pelicans’ most relied-upon units.
