Popovich analyzed the Spurs’ defeat by the Pelicans in the NBA and made it clear that he didn’t like what he saw from his team during the night of last Tuesday, 21
O Spurs was run over during the night of last Tuesday, the 21st. The team faced the Pelicans and was defeated by the score of 119 to 84, and Gregg Popovich did not hide his frustration at the negative result in the NBA. The coach, right after the game, gave a press conference, and spoke about the match and tried to analyze San Antonio’s performance with a certain coolness so as not to lose his head.
Behind the Pelicans throughout the game, the Spurs were unable to lead the scoring at any time and try to put a certain amount of pressure on their New Orleans rivals. On the contrary, the team had no reaction power, and saw Ingram and CJ take advantage of the Spurs’ bad night to take the victory. To get an idea, the first scored 32 points, while the second reached 15. Together, both added 47 points and took a good share of the victory for Willie Green’s team.
With that, Gregg Popovich did not hide his frustration with the result and highlighted the difficulty that the Spurs squad had throughout the game last Tuesday, 21: “We knew it was going to be a very difficult night. We got off to a great start, but as the game progressed, Ingram and CJ took over. They did a great job”.
In a brief summary of the match and without going into too much detail, Gregg Popovich made it clear that the rivals were far superior. He did not want to delve into the subject and took the opportunity only to value the basketball presented by New Orleans during the confrontation against San Antonio in the last round of the NBA: “We didn’t have our best night, they played well, period”.
To continue with the good phase and achieve the third consecutive victory in the competition, the Pelicans will need to beat the Hornets this Thursday, 23, at 21h (Brasília time). While New Orleans wants to maintain the good phase in the NBA, the Spurs will enter the court to recover from the negative results this Wednesday, 22, against the Bucks, from 21h (Brasília time).
