The New Orleans Pelicans shook off a rough first half to secure their third straight road win over the Indiana Pacers 117-112. Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins again did the heavy lifting on offense including two critical offensive rebounds in the final seconds to lead the Pelicans to victory. Davis led the way with 37 points (on an absurd 14-18 shooting night including four 3-pointers) and 14 rebounds while Cousins was no slouch himself at 32 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists.
