Anthony Davis scores 40 points, leads New Orleans Pelicans to impressive 125-115 victory over Denver Nuggets

The New Orleans Pelicans posted one of their best collective performances of the young season, beating the vaunted Denver Nuggets by a score of 125-115 while on the second night of a home back-to-back.

Anthony Davis and perfection seem closer now than ever. New Orleans superstar finished with 40 points, scoring half by way of his 20 makes at the charity stripe. It marks the fourth time he’s posted 40 in consecutive games — this time following a 43-point performance against the New York Knicks. Unlike 24 hours ago though, Davis came hard at fast from the tip, scoring or assisting on 11 of the first 13 points by the Pelicans.
