Anthony Davis fell one block shy of a triple-double and Ryan Anderson scored 22 points off the bench as the Pelicans pulled away from the Magic for a 101-84 victory at Smoothie King Center.
Davis filled the stat sheet with 26 points and 17 rebounds and accounted for nine of New Orleans' 17 blocks. Omer Asik, acquired in an offseason trade with Houston, donated 14 points and 17 boards in the winning cause.
Tobias Harris led Orlando with 25 points, while Nikola Vucevic pulled down a game-high 23 rebounds to go with 15 points in the setback.
