At 17-17, the Pelicans are in ninth place and two games behind the 20-16 Phoenix Suns for the eighth and last playoffs berth in the West. ?A couple of times we got the steal and we gave it right back. We had 18 turnovers. Defensively tonight, I thought they were really physical and took us out of our rhythm.? Pelicans head coach Monty Williams told reporters his post game interview. ?It?s tough, 18 turnovers. We?re trying to make the right play. That?s the big part of the game, to make sure that we will take care of the ball and make more positions.? Pelicans forward Anthony Davis added.
