Pelicans (22-33), Pistons (27-29)
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Flying dunks, unblockable hook shots, silky mid-range jumpers, a pair of all-net three-pointers. Anthony Davis has authored numerous monstrous offensive performances in his four-year NBA career, but Sunday’s was hands-down his best. The three-time All-Star exceeded his previous career-high in scoring by a considerable margin, breaking the New Orleans single-game franchise record in an incredible 59-point eruption. In compiling the highest-scoring game by an NBA player this season, Davis went 24/34 on field goals, made both of his three-point attempts and connected on nine of 10 foul shots.
