The Dallas Mavericks (21 - 15) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (11 - 23) 100 - 91 on Wednesday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Despite a close game throughout, the Mavericks ended up as the better shooters Wednesday, going 43 percent from the floor and 25 percent from the three - point line, while the Pelicans finished at 37 percent from the field and just 23 percent from deep. The Mavericks also dominated the boards, though, finishing with a 41 to 36 advantage. It was Raymond Felton who did the majority of the work for the Mavericks on Wednesday. Felton finished with a team - high of 22 points (6 - 14 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt, 7 - 7 FT), to go along with six assists and a pair of rebounds. His points total came just one point shy of a season - high for the 10th - year pro out of North Carolina. Chandler Parsons also put up some impressive numbers. He went off for 21 points (9 - 16 FG, 0 - 5 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT), while also adding eight rebounds and six assists. Parsons is averaging just 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists so far this season, so it was a step in the right direction for him. Notching a double - double was Dwight Powell, who came off the bench for 13 points (4 - 9 FG, 5 - 6 FT) and 10 rebounds over 29 minuteus off the bench. For the Pelicans, superstar Anthony Davis did everything he could to keep the Pelicans alive. He went off for a game - high of 26 points (11 - 25 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT), to go along with 12 rebounds, seven assists and three blocked shots. Davis came just shy of a triple - double, but it was n't enough to propel the Pelicans to the victory. Tyreke Evans chipped in with 16 points (6 - 12 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes as well.
