In his young career, Anthony Davis has had a fair share of monster nights. Midway through his fourth NBA season, he amassed the biggest one of them all, in a road game against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
With a usage of 39.3% and 34 of his team's 86 field goal attempts, it's clear he was the sole focus of the New Orleans Pelicans' offense. The thing is it didn't matter. The Pelicans fed him the ball and he returned 59 points on 24 made field goals, which contained two makes from long range. With 9 of 10 from the line, Davis solidified a true shooting 76.8%.
Davis tacked on 6 offensive rebounds and 4 assists as part of an offensive rating of 153. Defensively, he was just as good, with a rating of 103, 14 defensive rebounds and 1 block. Davis was a plus-17 in over 43 minutes and finalized a Game Score of 53.9 in New Orleans' 22nd win of the year.
