Brandon Ingram's Key Quotes
Finding better shots: "We had, like, 6 seconds left, so I think we could've had a better shot. I could've shot, I could've got a better shot. One more when I passed it to Herb, when he had, like, 3, 4 seconds to put the ball up, I put him in a bad position. And remember, I think the last 4 minutes just we can be more crisp, execute...A good team. Smart team. I think we lost patience a little bit in that 4th quarter."
Championship Team Execution: "They're a championship team. I mean, they've been through to the Finals before. So you got to expect them to execute late in games. They throughout the whole game, but when it came down to the Q4, they knew exactly where they were and went to it...They made plays out of that."
Overcoming Setbacks: "We know the steps and what we have to do to get better and how we can be better than winning basketball games. So, you know, we're not discouraged. [We] lost because it's the NBA. We can go on a 5-game win the streak. We can go on [and do] whatever we wanna do. We just gotta get refocused."
The New Orleans Pelicans will end their recent road trip against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
