Davis has 45 points, leads Pelicans past Timberwolves
NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis exuded an unmistakable swagger as he strode slowly toward the charged-up crowd behind the basket where he’d just rolled in an off-balance scoop while being fouled. Then, he exchanged a congratulatory five with Arcade Fire singer Win Butler, who was sitting along the baseline.
The Pelicans star wasn’t going to be denied — and neither, for that matter, was the rest of his recently resurgent team.
Davis finished with 45 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans won their fourth straight game, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-96 on Wednesday night.
