Anthony Davis, Pelicans Earn Tight Win over James Harden, Rockets
 

http://blackandgold.com/images/pixel.gifThe New Orleans Pelicans (27-21) have flashed glimpses of their tantalizing ceiling all month long, and they added to their impressive January resume with a 115-113win over the Houston Rockets at Smoothie King Center on Friday night.

New Orleans has now won four games in a row and is 9-3 since the start of 2018.

As has been the case all season long, the All-Star tandem of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins paced the Pelicans on both ends of the floor.

Davis finished with 27points, 11rebounds, five assists and fiveblocks, while DeMarcus Cousins posted 15points, 13boards and 11dimes for his third triple-double of the season and second in his last three games.

Cousins also helped seal the game for the Pelicans when he secured an offensive rebound and deposited a layup through contact to put with New Orleans up four with 15 seconds left in regulation.

Unfortunately for the Pelicans, Cousins was forced to leave the game after he suffered an apparent non-contact lower left leg injury when he chased his own miss on the ensuing foul shot.
