The New Orleans Pelicans find themselves sliding in the playoff hunt. They’re 3.5 games behind Oklahoma City for the eight seed.
Wednesday night, the Pelicans suffered a heartbreaking two-point defeat to Houston. However, Anthony Davis put big numbers. He hoisted 24 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks and three steals.
At the same time, Davis struggled at the line, as he only shot 6-of-14 from the charity stripe, which led Davis to put in some extra work.
Still dressed in his uniform, Anthony Davis went back on the court after Wednesday night’s game against the Houston Rockets when most of his teammates had already showered and left the Smoothie King Center.
So he went back out to practice. He put up enough free-throw shots until he made a 100 before heading to the locker room to shower. There were no Pelicans coaches around, just one of the Pelicans’ attendants retrieving the ball after Davis put up his shots.
This is the type of work ethic you love to see from your franchise player.
