ATLANTA -- The New Orleans Pelicans try for their first four-game winning streak of the season as they face the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at Philips Arena to start a stretch against four teams with losing records.
With Anthony Davis turning in his second straight banner game, the Pelicans, fighting for a Western Conference playoff berth, defeated the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics 116-113 in overtime at Boston on Tuesday.
Davis had 45 points and 16 rebounds after scoring 48 points and pulling down 17 rebounds in a 123-118 overtime victory at the New York Knicks on Sunday.
