The New Orleans Pelicans continue to struggle to start the season, losing on Tuesday to the Memphis Grizzlies despite the return of Tyreke Evans.

"We have to play together, harder and tougher," said Anthony Davis. "We are just trying to find a way to win. Whatever we have to do to win. We need to become closer as a team and believe in each other. We need to stop playing selfish basketball."

"We are not competing from start to finish," Alvin Gentry told reporters after back-to-back losses at the Clippers and Jazz. "Some kind of way as a coach, I've got to get them to do that. Or I'm going to have to play guys that do. I've got to play guys that will compete. Five guys that will compete. I've got to get them out on the floor."
