NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Bahamian rookie guard Buddy Hield scored five points last night to help his New Orleans Pelicans get their second win of the season, 106-105 over the Boston Celtics.
Anthony Davis had 25 points, 16 rebounds, four steals and two blocks as the Pelicans won for only the second time in their first 11 games. Hield also dished out three assists and grabbed two rebounds in 21 minutes.
Langston Galloway scored a season-high 21 points, while Terrence Jones added 15 points and a season-high 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which has won two of three after an 0-8 start.
Isaiah Thomas scored 37 for Boston, including a driving scoop that tied the game with 7 seconds left. But Boston’s Kelly Olynyk fouled New Orleans guard Tim Frazier with 2.5 seconds left, and Frazier sank one free throw for the margin of victory.
Avery Bradley had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Marcus Smart scored 15 points for Boston.
