At one point in the 2nd quarter of this game, the Spurs were up 10 points and their best scorer, DeMar DeRozan, had yet to record a single bucket. I kept thinking to myself, “this seems too good to be true.” I regret to inform you guys that, in fact, things were a little too good.
Anthony Davis shrugged off a woeful start and played as if he were engulfed in flames for the rest of the evening. The Pelicans outplayed the Spurs pretty much from the middle the 2nd quarter on.
