Anthony Davis said he had to play nearly perfectly for the Pelicans to win.
He showed that effort in New Orleans’ 140-124 win over the Cavaliers last night.
He helped the Pelicans overcome a 16-point deficit and finished with 38 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists (an expanded skill), four blocks and two steals. No play better highlighted his determination than this one late in the first quarter, when Davis blocked Jordan Clarkson’s dunk then jumped again to block Ante Zizic’s follow.
