Davis leads Pelicans past Spurs, 108-103 and into playoffs

NEW ORLEANS (AP) After Anthony Davis' final flurry of clutch shots, blocks and rebounds ensured the Pelicans' first postseason berth since before he was drafted, the 22-year-old All-Star known as the "unibrow" was ready to admit how much it meant to him.

"Honestly, I know I all told ya'll before this game it didn't mean nothing, but I tried to downplay it because I didn't want to get too excited," Davis said. "It meant a lot - and we played like it meant something.

"We played our hearts out."

In the biggest game of his three-year NBA career, Davis had 31 points and 13 rebounds, and the New Orleans earned its first playoff berth since 2011 with a 108-103 victory over San Antonio on Wednesday night.

that would not have been the first-round matchup we wanted here in Warriorland! Their record is only as poor as it is because of all the injuries they had earlier in the season. Phew! (big sigh of relief )

Would have been a scary match-up indeed.
