New Orleans Pelicans head coach Monty Williams has admitted that he could not complain about his team's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.
Damian Lillard scored 29 points for the Blazers, who earned the win with a couple of late baskets, and Williams claims that the point guard hurt his team with his accurate shooting.
"There's a lot of things I'd like to say that wouldn't be appropriate," the Pelicans coach told reporters after the game.
"I thought our guys battled and some things didn't go our way tonight. I have nothing bad to say about the game because of the way we competed.
"[LaMarcus Aldridge] didn't really go off like he's been going off. We kept him under wraps. But Lillard had 29 and those shots he hit at the end were daggers."
New Orleans have lost four games in the past week.
