New Orleans' Anthony Davis scored 40 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in the Pelicans’ 110-96 win over the Knicks, in a game where Carmelo Anthony was ejected late in the third quarter for arguing with the officials.

Knicks president Phil Jackson did not speak to the media after the game, leaving coach Jeff Hornacek and New York players such as Joakim Noah to try to explain the situation:
"I mean, I don't really want to talk too much about it because I don't really know what the situation is," said Noah, who has played with Rose since 2008 as his teammate in Chicago before coming to New York along with Rose prior to this season. "Obviously Derrick is one of our better players. And when he is not here it is tough. But I am just happy that everything is OK with him."
