0:43Play A six-time All-Star La Marcus Aldridge is averaging 22.8 points 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists this season
The high-flying New Orleans Pelicans upstaged the San Antonio Spurs 121-116 in the National Basketball Association on Wednesday, while the Golden State Warriors saw off the Washington Wizards.
Ginobili received high praise from New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry, a former Spurs assistant coach under Popovich. Holiday was fouled and missed the ensuing free throws, but Davis fought through the smaller Spurs and was fouled while collecting the miss.
As for the Spurs, San Antonio lost for the fifth time in their last six games as head coach Gregg Popovich was ejected. Guard Danny Green missed Friday's game at Denver after coming down with food poisoning from room service spaghetti, and Gay had just made his return in Denver after missing the previous 23 games due to heel bursitis. New Orleans won its seventh straight after trailing by as many as 15 points. "Under very, very tough circumstances, they keep fighting".
Davis coolly sank both free throws to give the Pelicans a 119-116 lead with 20.9 seconds left.
"I just think they deserve a lot of credit for playing as hard as they're playing".

The Spurs had six players in double figures led by 19 points by Gay. Davis didn't have the monster game he had against Phoenix on Monday, when he finished with 53 points, 18 rebounds and five blocks.
The Spurs surged to a 60-51 lead at the half, and Holiday said Gentry's halftime speech "lit a fire" under the Pelicans. San Antonio had its chances, but couldn't make the plays it needed to pull out the victory.
Even without Aldridge, the Spurs' offense kept rolling in the third quarter. San Antonio will have today and tomorrow off before they host the young Los Angeles Lakers (26-34) on Saturday night.
