MVP: Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis was a man with a mission tonight. We can criticize his shooting, discuss his rebounding, and compare his defensive metrics all day long but I think I speak for all Pelicans fans when I say the thing we have missed most from Davis this season is his effort. When he plays like he cares, the team plays like they care. He ended the game with 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists on 13/23 shooting from the floor and 1/2 from deep. Historically, he tends to turn things up in the second half of the season, meaning we might see these monster stat-lines become a regular occurrence.
