One of the 5 best winning streaks in the history of the NBA came to a screeching halt 2 days after they completed the best month in the history of the NBA by going 17-0.
Their first game in February was also their first loss of 2015. The Starters ‘J.E. Skeets’ picked the Pelicans as well to achieve victory over the Hawks.
‘The Brow’, Anthony Davis, had a great game as he tallied 29 points with 13 rebounds and one sick put-back dunk as well.
Eric Gordon dropped 20 on the night to help Davis and Tyreke Evans scored 15 points with 12 assists. As a team, the Pelicans dominated the boards by grabbing 52 rebounds compared to the 32 rebounds by the Hawks, further displaying their lack of size and rebounding talent.
The Hawks Jeff Teague led their push with 21 points and 7 assists, Paul Millsap scored 15 points and Kyle Korver dropped 12 points for the Hawks.
