As the Atlanta Hawks piled up win after win during an undefeated January, it seemed as if it would take an act of God to stop the surge.
Turns out it took Anthony Davis which, if you think about it, is pretty much the same thing.
Davis was divine in the New Orleans Pelicans' 115-100 win over the Hawks, intelligently designing the end of Atlanta's 19-game streak with 29 points, 13 rebounds (eight on the offensive end) and three assists. As has been the case for so many opponents this season, the Hawks had no answer for Davis' otherworldly talent.
Atlanta is as disciplined and attentive to detail as any team in the league, but it's not like there's a scouting report to stop Davis from doing things only he can do.
