NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis isnt saying if he feels snubbed by being left off
the All-Star roster.
nike flyknit lunar 3 cz . Hes making his
statement on the court. Davis continued his torrid play by scoring 24 points and
grabbing eight rebounds to lead the New Orleans Pelicans to an 88-79 victory
over Chicago on Saturday night. He also blocked six shots, bringing his total to
21 in his past three games. For the third consecutive game he scored at least 22
points and blocked six shots. The Pelicans said he is the first player to do
that since November 1990, when Patrick Ewing did it in four consecutive games
for the New York Knicks. "Im not trying to prove anything," said Davis, who set
a franchise record with at least four blocked shots in six consecutive games.
"Everybody knows what I can do and what Im capable of. Stuff happens and I cant
control that." Davis punctuated his performance with a monster jam early in the
third quarter, an effort worthy of the Slam Dunk Contest that will be held as
part of All-Star weekend in New Orleans. He played Saturday nursing a finger
injury that kept him out of one game. While Davis didnt want to address the
All-Star game snub, Pelicans coach Monty Williams wasnt so reluctant. "You want
to be recognized as one of the best," Williams said. "When you play as well as
he has, he can say what he wants. He wants it. We all know he deserves it."
Tyreke Evans added 11 points for the Pelicans, who have won four of their past
five. D.J. Augustin led the Bulls with 23 points in his return to his hometown.
He was 8 of 17 from the field and handed out seven assists. Taj Gibson added 17
points and Joakim Noah had 14 points and 16 rebounds for Chicago. Noah has 10 or
more rebounds in 18 straight games, the longest streak of his career.
Carlos Boozer was held to four points, tying his lowest point total of the year.
He had scored in double figures in his past 12 games. "I think (family and
friends in attendance) will be happy for me, but Im not happy that we didnt get
the win," said Augustin, who attended a local high school until Hurricane
Katrina forced him to finish his senior year in Texas. "Im just going to be
happy to see them and give them a hug and a kiss." Davis dominance effectively
shut down the middle for the cold-shooting Bulls, forcing them to rely on their
outside offensive and creating fast-break opportunities for the Pelicans.
Chicago shot 38.6 per cent from the field, making 27 of 70 attempts. The Bulls
were 3 of 16 on 3-point attempts and 22 of 33 on free throw attempts. They also
committed 17 turnovers. "We were coming from behind most of the time," Bulls
coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We got away from the basket in the missed free throws
and we just turned the ball over. " The Pelicans dominated in the paint,
outscoring the Bulls 50-34. New Orleans led 50-39 at the half and 71-57 after
three quarters. The Pelicans led by as many as 16 in the fourth quarter and
maintained a double-digit lead until the final minute. The Bulls were held to 18
points in each of the second and third quarters. "We went out there and played
really tough," Pelicans centre Jeff Withey said. "Theyre a great team and theyre
physical. We matched their physicality. We just made it really hard to score."
The Pelicans raced to a 50-39 halftime lead behind Davis nine points and three
rebounds. Augustin scored 17 points in the half on 5-of-8 shooting, but as a
team Chicago was 12 of 31, including 2 of 7 on 3-pointers. The Pelicans
outscored Chicago 10-2 on fast-break points and 26-12 in the paint. The Pelicans
took control in the opening minutes of the second quarter, going on a 12-2 run
to take a 35-23 lead with 7:20 remaining. At one point Chicago committed three
of its seven first-half turnovers on consecutive possessions, which New Orleans
turned into seven unanswered points. The Pelicans led by 13 on three occasions.
Eric Gordon scored the Pelicans first seven points but failed to score the rest
of the half and finished with nine points on 4-of-15 shooting. NOTES: Players
