BBNBA: Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins Combine for 60 Points

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="800"] @NBA[/caption] Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins continue to prove the New Orleans Pelicans have the best frontcourt in basketball. Davis had a game-high 36 points, along with 9 boards and 2 blocks, while Boogie was two assists away from a triple-double -- 24 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks.  Their efforts led New Orleans to a 119-116 win over Portland, a team they will have to fight down the stretch to enter the Playoffs.  Only 1.5 games separate No. 5 through 9 in the Western Conference standings. Check out the best parts from Davis' night.

Darius Miller added 16 points.  Maybe even more impressively, the Pels were +27 when Miller was on the floor.  Rajon Rondo had a quiet 3-point, 2-assst night and DeAndre Liggins did not play.

Stats

Karl-Anthony Towns messed around and almost got a triple-double vs. Enes Kanter and the New York Knicks. [table id=37 /]

Highlights

Karl-Anthony Towns' Stranger Things inspired shoes are definitely highlight-worthy. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1200"] @DavidSherman[/caption] This pass might be prettier than those kicks.
