New Orleans Pelicans Grades: Pelicans outlast 76ers 121-114
The New Orleans Pelicans returned from the All-Star break tonight at home against the 76ers, and what was looking like an easy win for the Pelicans turned into a sloppy basketball affair in the second half.
The New Orleans Pelicans constantly committed silly mistakes that the Sixers capitalized on. If they were playing any other team, it is likely they lose this game. The Pelicans were led tonight by their big 3 of Holiday, Anderson and, of course, Anthony Davis. It was not a convincing win, but at least they were able to start the final stretch of the season with a win.

New Orleans Pelicans. ANTHONY DAVIS. A-. Anthony Davis started this game off like gangbusters. He was getting to the line early and often and was making everything from reverse dunks to pull-up jumpers. Davis finished the first quarter with 18 points. He cooled off a bit but still finished the game with 34 points doing most of his work from the free throw line. AD made 16-20 free throws in the game. . PF
