Davis led New Orleans to a big 117-102 win over Atlanta in this evening's matchup. "We figured we could play with them, but Davis really surprised us," said Atlanta coach Bob. "He really took us out of our game plan, and we never really figured out how to stop him. We'll just have to hope for a more normal performance next time we meet, and hopefully the final tally will be a little closer."

New Orleans coach Bob was enthusiastic about his star's performance. "That was really something, wasn't it? Certainly we take a realistic expectation into each game, but it really gives the whole team confidence to know that Davis can pull off a game like he did today."
