The visiting New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 112 - 94, at Philips Arena on Tuesday. It did n't take long for this game to get out of hand, as the Pelicans (5 - 10) opened on a 26 - 10 run and ultimately pushed their lead to 20 points by the end of the first quarter, a lead they held onto for the rest of the evening. Tim Frazier helped them hold onto that lead, as the starting point guard finished with 21 points on 7 - of - 12 shooting and 14 assists in 35 minutes. Frazier's performance was necessary too, as Anthony Davis left in the second quarter with a right knee injury after diving into the crowd for a loose ball. Luckily for the Pelicans, the All-Star power forward did return later in the game, ultimately finishing with 13 points and three rebounds in 19 minutes as New Orleans won their third straight game. As for the Hawks (9 - 5), they have now dropped their third game in a row in ugly fashion. The starting backcourt of Dennis Schroeder and Kyle Korver led the way in scoring with 14 points each, while the frontcourt pairing of Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard, who have led the team in scoring so far this season, managed to score just a combined 18 points. The final starter, Kent Bazemore, shot 0 - of - 6 from the field and finished with just one point, one assist and one rebound in 18 minutes. In the end, it was a night to forget for the Hawks, who continue to slide after a hot start to the season. Up next, the Pelicans will look to earn their fourth win in a row against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, while the Hawks will travel to Indiana on Wednesday to take on the Pacers.
