Pistons can’t overcome Anthony Davis’ record setting performance

Anthony Davis set a Palace record with 59 points, and also added 20 rebounds as the New Orleans Pelicans handed the Detroit Pistons their fifth straight loss.

The Pistons had no answer for Anthony Davis this afternoon. Despite strong games from Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond, the Pistons dropped their fifth straight and fell to 27-29. Typically when the Pistons have lost to inferior opponents this season, it has been due to a lack of effort. I don’t think that was the case today. They were just on the wrong end of a career night from a great player.

Here are the grades.
