Willie Green on Pelicans’ back-to-back losses vs. Jazz: “The West is competitive, this is what it’s gonna be every night”

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Inexperienced credited the West as a brilliant aggressive convention following back-to-back street losses to the Utah Jazz this week.

(through New Orleans Pelicans):

Reporter: “What’d you concentrate on your protection in comparison with two nights in the past?”

Inexperienced: “I assumed it was higher, it was lots higher than it was the primary time we performed these guys, however not ok to win. We’ve got to maneuver ahead to how we play defensively, and this group, they problem you. They acquired a ton of men which might be like-size guys that may all shoot threes, can put the ball on the ground, and get to the paint. That’s what they do. So give them a ton of credit score, they received two video games on their house flooring, we simply did the identical factor towards Phoenix. The West is aggressive, that is what it’s gonna be each evening.”
