Meanwhile, Anthony Davis won the battle of young Western Conference big men against DeMarcus Cousins, pouring in 28 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in leading the New Orleans Pelicans to a 106-100 come-from-behind win over the Sacramento Kings. Cousins notched 24 points and 17 rebounds (and this soul-crushing chase-down block on Jrue Holiday) in the loss. However, we got our first glimpse this season of what should be a tremendous battle for years to come.
Also, props to NBA TV viewers for not picking the Lakers for the billionth time for the network’s Tuesday Fan Night broadcast. The rest of the basketball-watching world thanks you for your service.
