Entering Friday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, there was no real reason for the New Orleans Pelicans to give the Spurs a game. San Antonio entered the game on a six game winning streak while New Orleans was 1-11 and sporting one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Then Ryan Anderson exploded for 30 points and Anthony Davis poured in 20 of his own while collecting 18 rebounds and the Pelicans surprised everyone by beating the Spurs 104-90.
MVP: Ryan Anderson
For the second straight game, Ryan Anderson was incredible.
