The New Orleans Pelicans fell to the Los Angeles Clippers, 114-96. After building a 44-35 lead in the second quarter, it was all Los Angeles for the rest of the game. By and large, the Pelicans dared the Clippers — sometimes by choice, but oftentimes not — to beat them from the perimeter and they happily obliged.
After registering 31 points or more in 4 straight games, Anthony Davis was held to 21 points and 6 rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Before the start of the second quarter, he left for the locker room and was deemed questionable to return with a right shoulder injury.
