After building a double-digit lead, the Pelicans couldn’t close out the Celtics, who forced an extra period, but New Orleans came up with more big plays in OT, pulling off a road upset.
The Pelicans ended the Celtics’ seven-game winning streak. Two days after scoring 48 points at New York, Davis went for 45 points and 16 rebounds on Eastern Conference-leading Boston’s home floor.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Leading by three with 1.3 seconds left in OT, Rajon Rondo threw a pass to Davis under the rim, allowing Davis to tip the ball a couple times, causing the clock to expire before Boston could grab it or toss a long heave before the buzzer.
