Washington (AFP) - The Washington Wizards weren't about to grant New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis another sensational scoring night in the NBA on Tuesday.

Wizards guard John Wall notched his second triple-double of the season and Washington smothered Davis in a 109-89 triumph over the Pelicans.

In Davis's first game since he dropped 59 points on the Detroit Pistons in a win on Sunday, he was held to just nine points on three-of-nine shooting.

"I just think they tried to double-team me, deny me the ball -- a lot," Davis said.
