Willie Green Recaps Win | Pelicans-Grizzlies Postgame 2/12/2024
Take it coach overall when you look at the game it is your third and fourth in four nights fatigue had to be a factor a bit of a slow start can you just talk a little bit about the the matchup and the the contest there no you’re right it’s
That time of season um couple games before the break every team is a bit fatigued but um first credit to them you know they they’re a scrappy team they’re well coach they’re disciplined they go out play hard and um they fought for 48 minutes and um credit to our guys in the
Locker room we We Didn’t Start well then we got it going came out the third quarter we playing well and then the wheels fell off but we found a way at the end to win the game and that’s the important part for us what did you see
As the way to win in the fourth what allowed you in those final minutes to close it out well we have to get stops which you know we did they they they had a couple open threes that they missed but we got stops we rebounded the ball we have to
Take care of the ball we have to be better down the stretch not turning the ball over I don’t know how many fourth quarter turnovers we had but that’s an area of growth for us um and then bi hit some big shots to close the game out
He’s one point away from 9,000 in his career that’s a significant milestone for any player it is it is it’s it’s definitely um a significant milestone for for bi um I’m sure he’ll get that next game but it shows his uh his ability to score and hopefully he can
Continue to do that for us how much did Herb mean to you in his three-point shooting it sure seems like when he has a good night this team has a good night herb Herb’s been shooting the ball well lately and he’s getting more and more confident in his shot uh he shot fing
Drive into the basket I love the fact that he had nine rebounds that was huge for us so when he’s rebounding the ball we know he’s going to defend and he’s making shots we’re a tough matchup I wish they hadn’t taking that one away from him got double double uh we talked
About your bench in pregame and boy they sure did seem to flip the game again for you when they came in in that second quarter they were awesome the moment those guys got in the game Jose nii Trey and Larry the game turned they played with energy toughness speed force and it
Was fun to watch and you know we have to get off to better starts but those guys are huge for us the uh there there were times that y’all did not shoot well I mean you’re looking at Brandon Brandon was 7 of 15 but CJ’s 4 of5 Z had a tough night is
That because of their defense is that because of their physicality or is it the length of time that y’all had to play this week I think it’s a combination of all of the above I think you know you can’t discredit another team they go out and play hard play
Scrappy you know it’s the last game of a four game trip for us a game before the allstar Break um a couple games before the All-Star break rather so it’s just that time of year where you have to find ways to win um no matter who the
Opponent is and I give our gr guys a lot of credit in the locker room that’s what they did tonight thank you

You got out coaches by a team made up of g leaguers. I honestly don’t kno what’s so funny
Refs were ridiculous. So biased..
Boy we sucked but a win is a win
He should be furious and disgusted but here he is, giving excuses and credits. I hate him
