Pelicans beat Warriors 103-100, move into 8th spot

Anthony Davis scored 23 of his 29 points in the second half, including two free throws with 9 seconds left, and the New Orleans Pelicans moved into eighth place in the Western Conference with a 103-100 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Stephen Curry scored 25 points, hitting five 3-pointers, but his final attempt that would have tied the game went in and out. Now New Orleans, which has not participated in the postseason since 2011, has five games left to hold on to a playoff spot and owns a tiebreaker over the Thunder. The Pelicans, who overcame a double-digit halftime deficit, also needed a late surge to pull out arguably their biggest victory this season.
