Although it may not look like it, Bender had some success guarding Davis.

Payton gets technical and goes to the bench. Harrison into the game at PG.

The Pelicans have never surrounded Davis with shooters. He has suffered from bad teammates more than any star in recent memory. I think the only good shooter he's played with was Ryan Anderson, who plays the same position that he does, so it wasn't a good fit. They overpaid this last summer for Jrue Holiday and that will hurt them going forward because they can't afford to bring in anyone else, especially if they resign Cousins. Those 2 are bad fits around Davis and allows the front office to say that they're trying to surround him with good players.

Three Suns have fouled out of the game. No one to guard Davis.

It's only a 4 point game.

The Suns do not have the size to match up with Davis.
