(The Sports Xchange) – With Anthony Davis struggling through a rare poor shooting night, the New Orleans Pelicans were forced to rely on the supporting cast to rally the team and pull out a rare road win.
Jrue Holiday scored 16 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Tim Frazier compiled his first career triple-double as the Pelicans came from 15 points down in the third quarter and beat the Phoenix Suns 120-119 Sunday.
Frazier finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and a game-high five steals.
The Pelicans (8-17) snapped their five-game losing streak and won for the first time since Nov. 29 despite getting only 14 points from Davis, who missed 13 of 17 shots and finished well below his league-leading average of 31.4 points per game.
