Anthony Davis helps Pelicans defeat Knicks with 48-point, 17-rebound performance

NEW YORK -- New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis had a simple explanation for his 48-point, 17-rebound performance against the New York Knicks on Sunday.

"I just tried to get us going on both ends of the floor. I was able just to continue to make shots," Davis said.

That's quite an understatement.

Davis set a season-high for points on Sunday and compiled a stat line rarely seen in the NBA. In the process, he helped the New Orleans Pelicans rebound from a 19-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Knicks in overtime.
