43 puntos, 10 rebotes, 4 robos y 3 tapones fueron los números de Anthony Davis en la quinta derrota consecutiva de los New Orleans Pelicans, en esta ocasión frente a los Atlanta Hawks.
El equipo de Alvin Gentry tuvo un pésimo segundo cuarto y estuvo nadando a contracorriente durante toda la segunda mitad. Anthony Davis estuvo bien secundado por Eric Gordon (22 puntos) pero los 87 puntos que anotaron entre los cinco titulares de los Atlanta Hawks fueron una barrera infranqueable para los de Louisiana. Los Hawks ganaron su quinto partido de la temporada y se plantan con un 5-1 en la clasificación mientras que los Pelicans, tras la victoria de los Lakers, se quedan como único equipo sin ganar en el Oeste.
