Anthony Davis set a new NBA record for most points in a player's first game against a former team when he visited New Orleans as a Laker on Wednesday night.
In Los Angeles' 114-110 win, Davis scored a season-high 41 points to lead the Lakers to their ninth straight victory. In addition to his nine rebounds, Davis recorded three steals—including a key snag off a late Pelicans' inbounds pass to seal the game.
While Davis put up big numbers in his New Orleans return, LeBron James also made some history of his own.
