LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Anthony Davis is just scratching the surface, and New Orleans Pelicans coach Monty Williams is itching to see how much more the third-year forward can accomplish this season.Davis scored eight of his 23 points in the final 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, Jrue Holiday had 22 points and eight assists, and the Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Lakers 104-87 on Sunday night.Hes just special. Nothing fazes him, Williams said. He had a subpar game for him last night — and I say that jokingly when you look at his numbers. But he didnt play as well as he can play. So for him to come back and close out this game the way that he did — I mean, hes just 21 years old. And when hes 23 to 27, were going to see something the league has never seen.Ryan Anderson had 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, helping the Pelicans end a four-game road losing streak that included a 27-point drubbing by the Warriors on Thursday and a 20-point loss to the Clippers on Saturday night.We shared the ball, played for each other, defended and played together, Davis said. We bounced back after two bad losses. To hold a team like that to 87 points and play our style of ball was good for us.Kobe Bryant had 14 points in 31 minutes for the Lakers (5-16). He and Davis entered Sunday 1-2 in the league in scoring average at 25.8 points and 25.3, respectively.Reserve Gal Mekel, playing his second game with the Pelicans, gave them their biggest lead at 83-59 on a fast-break layup 46 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Lakers closed to 83-71 with a 12-0 run.But that was as close as they got, as Davis helped put it away with two layups, a dunk and a 21-footer that gave New Orleans a 100-81 cushion with 2:54 left.With his team allowing an average of 111.2 points entering Sunday, first-year Lakers coach Byron Scott inserted power forward Ed Davis and point guard Ronnie Price into his starting unit while Carlos Boozer and Jeremy Lin came off the bench.If you look at our record, we have to make changes — at least think I do, Scott said. As a coach, Im not going to stand pat and just watch it continue to be played this way. So to me, it was a no-brainer. The reason is obviously on the defensive end. The last five games Ive been thinking about this.That ended Boozers streak of 588 straight games as a starter.
