On the second night of a back-to-back, every team needs a player to step up early and give them something to build off of early. It should be no surprise that it was Anthony Davis to serve that role for the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
While Anthony Davis came out hot, his teammates came out flat. This was the theme for the majority of the night.
Dante Cunningham gave it his best effort. While his stat line doesn’t show the whole story, he brought life to the Pelicans – if only for a few minutes.
