Wizards (17-14), Pelicans (15-16)
WASHINGTON – As soon as New Orleans got back in Tuesday’s game after falling behind big early, Washington responded emphatically, regaining a large cushion. In a seesaw game, the Wizards went up by 25 points in the first half, but the Pelicans clawed back into a tie only a few minutes into the third quarter. From there, Washington dominated, winning the third quarter by a 32-15 tally, en route to a convincing interconference victory.
Anthony Davis led the New Orleans offense with 37 points, going 14 of 15 from the foul line.
