As the fourth quarter started, the New Orleans Pelicans had an 84-80 lead. But that was before Anthony Davis, who had been leading the way with 19 points, fell as he was struggling back-to-back with Derrick Favors for position.
It was one of those terrible moments — no one’s fault, and every team’s nightmare. And it completely changed the game, leaving Donovan Mitchell open to his 41-point heroics as the Jazz went on to win 114-108.
Postgame in the locker room, New Orleans’ DeMarcus Cousins wasn’t brooding over the defeat.
