If the New Orleans Pelicans are trying to tank, no one told the players and coaches. Just hours after word was released that Anthony Davis will miss the remainder of the season, the Pelicans beat one of the best teams in the Western Conference despite playing with, essentially, just eight players. Omer Asik, Toney Douglas, Jrue Holiday, Luke Babbitt, Tim Frazier, Dante Cunningham and Luke Babbitt all played exceptionally well.
MVP: Omer Asik
With Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson missing this game, Omer Asik put in arguably his best performance of the season.
