The Washington Wizards defeated the New Orleans Pelicans, 105 - 91, at Verizon Center on Saturday evening. Outside of the Miami Heat, the Wizards (30 - 20) were one of the Eastern Conference's hottest squads coming in to Saturday's game, having won six consecutive games. They'd also amassed a 21 - 6 record at home and were facing a Pelicans (19 - 32) team that had only notched six victories in 23 road tilts this season, all factors that seemed to point towards another dominant outing. Despite a 25 - point, 10 - rebound double - double from Anthony Davis, Washington fulfilled that prophecy, limiting New Orleans to just eight points over the final quarter to seal the win. The Pelicans posted just a 29 percent success rate from three - point range and also committed 15 turnovers. Davis added two assists, two blocks and a steal to his team - leading performance. Terrence Jones got the start at power forward and provided 15 points, four rebounds and two blocks. Tyreke Evans posted a bench - leading 15 points and supplemented them with six rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jrue Holiday tallied a stat line of 13 points, 10 boards and eight assists. Solomon Hill and Buddy Hield combined for just 13 points on 6 - of - 16 shooting. The Wizards were paced by another stellar performance from John Wall, who generated a 24 - point, 13 - assist double - double that also featured three rebounds, five steals and one block. Markieff Morris collected 18 points, four rebounds and one steal. Marcin Gortat was a force on the boards once again, totaling 12 points, 17 rebounds and one block. Otto Porter and Bradley Beal both equaled Gortat's scoring total, with the former adding nine rebounds and three steals, and the latter posting five rebounds, three assists and one steal. Kelly Oubre, Jr. led the second unit with 10 points, two rebounds and one block. The Pelicans head back home to face the Phoenix Suns on Monday evening, while the Wizards remain home to tangle with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.
