Pelicans coach Willie Green has been really impressed by the Cs:
“They have a ton of experience on this team and then getting to the Finals, they’re hungry. You can see it when they go out and play. Each and every game they’re playing like it’s the last game of the season.” – 6:42 PM

The Pelicans face a tall task against the Celtics, but the Suns beat the Warriors without Booker, CP3 or Ayton last night.
