Nuggets vs. Pelicans - Game Recap - October 26, 2016 - ESPN
NEW ORLEANS -- Denver coach Mike Malone decided the Nuggets should not, in fact, do whatever it takes to stop Anthony Davis.
Davis wound up with 50 points, 16 rebounds, seven steals, five assists and four blocks. His prolific play helped New Orleans trim a deficit as large as 14 late in the second quarter down to two points in the waning minutes.
"We gave them too many easy looks in the beginning of the game,'' Davis said. "We gave ourselves a chance. We've just got to play like we played in the third and fourth quarter in the beginning of the game."
Davis became the first player to post at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and five steals in a game since steals were recorded in 1973-74.
He didn't get much help offensively. Davis shot 17-of-34; the rest of the Pelicans combined to shoot 21-of-58.
