Anthony Davis and Karl-Anthony Towns can both still have shares of the NBA's future, but the present clearly belongs to just one.
Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans buried Towns' Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 117-96 in a game that highlighted the yawning chasm between tremendous potential and fully realized stardom.
Taking a 21-2 first-quarter scoring edge over Towns and never looking back, Davis finished with 45 points, 10 rebounds and three assists on 17-of-27 shooting. It was the third time AD pumped in at least that many points in a game, and he's now the proud owner of three of the season's six highest scoring outputs.
