NEW ORLEANS -- Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points, Kelly Olynyk added 21 in a reserve role, and the Boston Celtics defeated the struggling New Orleans Pelicans 111-93 on Monday night.
Jae Crowder scored 17 for Boston, while Jared Sullinger tied a career high with 20 rebounds to go with 11 points.
Seemingly out of rhythm after early foul trouble, Anthony Davis was 8-of-21 shooting and finished with 16 points and three blocks. Ryan Anderson scored 18 for the Pelicans, but New Orleans' starting backcourt struggled.
