New Orleans isn’t even playing with a full roster, a fact that seemed to hurt when these two teams met in Dallas. He was 11 of 15 from the field and added eight rebounds. Millsap was also a force, finishing with 19 points and 16 rebounds.
One of the rumors involving Anderson is a possible trade with the Wizards, who according to Fansided is looking for a new stretch four as “the team’s lack of depth, especially at the power forward spot” is slowly becoming evident as the regular season moves along. That said, it was a flukeyplay that I don’t expect to see happen again. I feel better about it, too. I’m more comfortable in the offense.
The Hawks didn’t have to worry about Davis.
They’ll get another such game Friday night against the severely depleted New Orleans Pelicans, who didn’t have Anthony Davis in their latest contest.
Atlanta didn’t face such a daunting deficit in this one.
The Pelicans lost twice, LSU not only lost but shook the confidence of the purple and gold fanbase, and the Saints fell in heartbreaking fashion to a team with a. 166 winning percentage. Tonight they absolutely mauled Dallas (a tough veteran savvy and experienced team) by simply adding an average level center and getting a solid 15 first half minutes from their PG.
That’s usually how the Hawks do it. It’s the only time this season the Mavericks will have to do this and coach Rick Carlisle is all right with that. We started the game right away We did a good job from start to finish, an obviously relieved Gentry told reporters at his post-game press conference..
Dallas, meanwhile, was just 5 for 20 beyond the arc. The Hawks held a slim 76-75 edge through three quarters, but put the clamps on the Pelicans during much of the final period.
Six Pelicans players scored double-digit points, including Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Toney Douglas, Ish Smith, and Ryan Anderson.
