As the announcer belted out the names of the starters for the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night, a name besides Anthony Davis drew thunderous applause. Tyreke Evans, ready to return to the court, was welcomed by fans for the first time this season. The moment was not lost on the fans as they gave him a welcome usually reserved for Anthony Davis. From the upper deck to the floor, everyone knew his electric playmaking can be the difference for this team. Sure enough, Tyreke Evans did not disappoint them on Tuesday night.
Tyreke Evans (or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the pick-and-roll) had his way against one of the stingiest defenses in the NBA all night.
