There was just no stopping Anthony Davis against the Pelicans. Davis scored 46 points to go with 13 rebounds and 3 blocks as he helped the Lakers race to a 24-point lead in what was an easy win for the home team. In doing so, the Lakers improved their Western Conference record to 28-7. Post the game, Davis said in an interview that "It was an emotional game for me [in November]. I just wanted to play as good as possible. Tonight, I didn't have that many emotions because I got that out of the way the first game. It was just another game. We just come out and play and did whatever I can to get the win."
