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.

For the Pelicans, superstar Anthony Davis did everything he could to keep the Pelicans alive.
