Don't look now, but the New Orleans Pelicans are playing like a team with one very specific goal in mind: of proving doubters wrong and making the 2018 playoffs.
Returning from a nine-day All-Star Break layoff, the Pelicans picked up right where they left off as they topped the Miami Heat in an overtime thriller, 124-123. That marks four straight wins for a New Orleans team that many had written off after DeMarcus Cousins was lost for the season with a torn Achilles injury.
The biggest reason for the latest string of wins has been none other than Anthony Davis.
