The New Orleans Pelicans (11 - 11) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (13 - 9) 119 - 114 on Friday. New Orleans has won three of their last four games, but there was a bitter taste with Friday's win as Anthony Davis suffered a chest injury that limited him to just seven minutes of action. The extent of the injury was not known immediately following the game. Ryan Anderson earned 41 minutes of run in Davis' absence and tied his career - high with eight made three - pointers to finish with 30 points. Tyreke Evans took on a lot of the load as well, putting up a team - high 31 points to go with 10 assists. The Pelicans will have another tough test Sunday when they host the Golden State Warriors. Cleveland has dropped two straight games after having won their previous eight. LeBron James returned to the lineup after sitting out Thursday's loss to rest his knee. James tried to force the win Friday, scoring a game - high 41 points, but the Cavaliers simply could n't stop the Pelicans on offense allowing them to shoot 56 percent from the field. Dion Waiters left the game with abdominal pain and was taken to the Ochsner Medical Center for evaluation. The Cavaliers will host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.
