NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis is getting even better while the New Orleans Pelicans close out another difficult season. Vapormax 97 Sale Australia . Davis set career highs with 40 points and 21 rebounds, and Eric Gordon made two crucial free throws in overtime to lead the Pelicans to a 121-120 overtime victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night. „My teammates tell me that they feed off my energy and they want me to be great so I cant be timid and do what it takes to help my team win,“ said Davis, who also blocked three shots, making him the eight player in NBA history with at least 40 points, 20 rebounds and three blocks in a game. „Were trying to do a better job of making me comfortable down the stretch.“ Tyreke Evans added 26 points and Gordon had 19 for the Pelicans (27-39), who had lost two consecutive games. Gordons foul shots with 9.4 seconds remaining gave the Pelicans a 121-117 lead. „In overtime we did enough to squeak out a one-point win,“ Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. Jeff Green, who led Boston with 39 points, answered Gordons free throws in overtime with a three-point play that trimmed New Orleans lead to 121-120 with 5.7 seconds remaining. But the Celtics were unable to foul on the inbounds play and New Orleans ran out the clock. „At least we played with better poise at the end of regulation and overtime,“ said Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who blamed a defensive miscommunication for Boston not committing the late foul. „We gave ourselves a chance to win on the offensive end. Guys got a couple of stops, just not enough at the end.“ Davis did not score in overtime but controlled the middle by grabbing six rebounds. He became the first player in franchise history to have at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game. He is averaging 32.3 points in his last six games. His previous high for points was Friday night when he scored 36 in a loss against Portland. Davis 21 rebounds erased his previous career high of 19 against Orlando on Jan. 26. „I think he can do this 10 to 15 times a year just because he is so gifted and does things for the right reason,“ Williams said. „Obviously, he has great athletic ability but some of that stuff is just him. We try to put him in a position where he can be a dominant player.“ Green made three big free throws late in regulation, tying it at 110. Davis answered with a jumper for New Orleans, but Kris Humphries, who scored 16 points, sent the game into overtime on a long jumper from the right corner. „Thats a tough one to swallow,“ said Celtics forward Jared Sullinger, who scored 14 points. „(Humphries) hitting that big shot to send it into overtime, we thought we could win. In the end we came up short.“ Avery Bradley had 12 points for the Celtics, who lost their fourth consecutive game. Evans layup with 5:33 remaining in the fourth quarter gave the Pelicans a 102-89 lead. Boston then closed with a 23-10 surge to force the extra period. It was similar to the past two games when the Pelicans blew leads against Memphis and Portland. „We played defence in the fourth quarter and in overtime and got stops when we needed it,“ Davis said. „We came up with the rebounds and made free throws.“ The Celtics, who attempted to push the pace against the defence-minded Pelicans, closed the first half on a 17-8 run to take a 64-57 halftime lead. Boston scored 39 points in the second period. Green had 20 points at the break. He had a tying dunk with 4:11 left and a 3-pointer with 2:35 remaining, giving Boston a 54-49 lead. NOTES: The Pelicans finished 24 of 28 from the free-throw line, after making their only two foul shots in the first half. … Davis was 12 of 12 from the line, and has not missed an attempt in his past three games. … The Pelicans have won their past five games that have gone into overtime. … New Orleans scored a season-high 70 points in the paint, and held Boston to 46. Balenciaga Australia Store. — Canadian womens amateur golf champion Brooke Henderson is a little less starstruck as she prepares for her second career appearance at an LPGA Tour major event. NMD V2 Australia .

The coach said he „obviously hopes Daryl gets his life straightened out.“ „But he also was very unaccountable,“ Arians said, „to his teammates, the organization, the fans and everybody else.“ The coach spoke after the team resumed volunteer organized team activity Monday. Washington, who says the punishment was for marijuana, also was suspended the first four games of last season for violating the NFL substance abuse policy. He faces further potential punishment from the league following his guilty plea to assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The loss of Washington leaves the Cardinals without the two dynamic inside linebackers who were the core of the teams strong defence a year ago. Karlos Dansby, the Cardinals leading tackler last season, signed a free agent contract with Cleveland. Second-year player Kevin Minter, who played one defensive snap as a rookie, already is penciled in as Dansbys replacement. Larry Foote, signed as a free agent, will be a candidate to take Washingtons place, at least part of the time. Lorenzo Alexander, who started at outside linebacker before going down with a foot injury three games into last season, will move inside, a position he has played before and says he loves. Kenny Demens, on the practice squad last season, is another possibility, and the team is looking to sign others. „Its not imperative but we still would like to have some depth because were short now going into camp,“ Arians said. „Wed like to have seven inside linebackers go to camp, so well see whats available and pursue it from there.“ Asked if someone could be signed and become a starter, Arians said, „Hed have to earn it. Iff theres one available that could do that, Id like to have him. Air Max 97 Off White Australia. quot; Alexander said the Cardinals still have the outstanding defensive front that was largely responsible for the success of the inside linebackers. „All those guys were taking a block to allow D-Wash and Karlos do what theyre going to do,“ he said. „So I dont see why thats going to change and allow us to run for the ball. … Obviously theyre good players but it was a collective team effort that enabled them to have those type of plays and impact in games.“ Quarterback Carson Palmer said an improved offence should help offset the impact of losing Washington. „We have to step up,“ Palmer said. „When you lose a guy like Daryl and you lose Karlos to free agency, Tyrann (Mathieu) is not going to be back probably as fast as wed like, you kind of have to transform. Thats the NFL. … Offensively we have to pick up a ton of slack. We leaned on the defence a lot last year and we expect to be leaned on this year. We need to come through and we will come through.“ Palmer said the players need to support Washington „and love him and try to be there for him through this phase.“ He said Washington needs to keep preparing as a football player through his suspension and „stay away from bad people and bad places.“ „Dont just sit back and relax and wait til next year,“ Palmer said, „because the game can pass you by.“ He said the Cardinals players would welcome Washington back „with open arms.“ „I think this locker room understands guys make mistakes,“ Palmer said. „Some mistakes are more detrimental than others and hurt you more than others … I cant wait to see him. I know hes been through a lot and theres been a lot of crazy things but this locker room will give him a hug, welcome him back and be glad to see him back.“ Washingtons experience has been an example to the teams younger players. Minter has watched what has happened with eyes wide open. „Its like man,“ he said. „Id better not mess up.“ ‚ ‚ ‚
