Detroit Pistons @ New Orleans Pelicans - March 4, 2015 - Recap

Davis had piled up 39 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks in his return from a right shoulder sprain, and the New Orleans Pelicans won for the sixth time in seven games, 88-85 over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

Pelicans coach Monty Williams used the term "unreal" to describe Davis' first game back after missing five. Recently acquired guard Norris Cole joked that Davis is "not human." Tyreke Evans had 21 points and nine assists for New Orleans. Alexis Ajinca added 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Jodie Meeks scored 20 points and Reggie Jackson had 14 for Detroit, which has lost four straight. Andre Drummond had 13 points, 18 rebounds and six blocks for the Pistons. Monroe, a New Orleans native, added 13 points and 15 rebounds.

The game was ugly at times. Detroit turned the ball over 19 times, while the Pelicans lost the ball 15 times, and both teams shot close to 41 percent. The Pistons, who normally shoot 34 percent from 3-point range, were just 2 of 14.

Davis hit two mid-range jumpers in the last 1:14, the second with 18 seconds left, to hold off Detroit in a frenetic, defensive game that had 15 lead changes and eight ties.
