DALLAS – Over the New Orleans Pelicans’ last 13 road games, Anthony Davis has been a leading scorer 11 times, with Ryan Anderson topping the offense in the other two contests. Perhaps not coincidentally, in the games where the Pelicans (10-22, 3-15 on the road) have gotten a big night from someone other than Davis, they’ve been much more competitive – including a Dec. 16 win at Utah and a tight 110-103 loss at Oklahoma City on Nov. 18.
Although defense has been a big areas of focus in terms of trying to improve all season, New Orleans’ production on offensive sometimes has prevented it from having a chance to win away from the Big Easy.
