Anthony Davis was on his way to what might have been a memorable — and unusual — statistical line before he came out for good with more than three minutes still left in the third quarter.
Not that he was complaining.
Davis had 13 points, nine rebounds and a career-high eight blocks, and the New Orleans Pelicans emphatically snapped a three-game skid with a 135-98 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
“You always want to play no matter how much you're winning by, how much time is left … but I don't ever question coach's decision,” Davis said. “We won and that's all that matters.”
