Pelicans (42-30), Pacers (41-31)
Relatively quiet for much of Wednesday’s game, especially by his lofty standards, Anthony Davis delivered in crunch time for New Orleans. After a sluggish start by sidekick Jrue Holiday, the guard also came through in the fourth quarter. As a result, the Pelicans pulled out a third straight win on their home floor, including improving to 2-0 during this rare mid-week stretch of three games on three consecutive nights.
New Orleans won the fourth quarter 29-23, allowing the hosts to overcome a two-point deficit heading into the final 12 minutes. It was a tight affair throughout, with neither side leading by more than six points.
