Spurs 103 @ Pelicans 108

Before the game Anthony Davis told the media this game didn’t mean much, didn’t matter more than the other games but after the win, and the playoff berth that came with it he admitted to it meaning so much more.

Honestly, I know I all told ya’ll before this game it didn’t mean nothing, but I tried to downplay it because I didn’t want to get too excited,” Davis said. “It meant a lot — and we played like it meant something. We played our hearts out.”

Davis had 31 points and 13 rebounds in what was widely considered the biggest game of “the brows” career with a playoff berth on the line. It was New Orleans’ first playoff berth since 2011 and first under the Pelicans name.

The loss ended the Spurs 11 game winning streak and cost them the 2 seed and a division title.

“It’s been a crazy season, crazy West,” Tony Parker said. “We had a good opportunity, winning 11 games in a row and in second place”

Tyreke Evans had a 19 point double-double and Eric Gordon had 14 points.
