📅 On this day in 2017, the @New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis had 45 points and 17 rebounds in a loss to the Warriors.
Davis became just the second player in NBA history to open a season with consecutive 45-point, 15-rebound games.
He joined Wilt Chamberlain, who did so twice. pic.twitter.com/1JZdl4resQ3:31 PM
