Entering tonight, Anthony Davis was averaging 22.2 points on 44.2% shooting over the Pelicans previous 5 games. Against the Celtics on Saturday, the All-Star hopeful went for 36 points, on 14-22 from the field, but New Orleans still wound up losing the game — their 3rd straight — in Boston by a final score of 117-108.
Eight times this season Davis has gone for 35+ points and 15+ rebounds, but the Pelicans have only been able to notch victories in just three of those monster performances. Never mind the fact that the rest of the NBA has only been able to duplicate the same statistics just six times all season!
