Few players have ever had the feeling Anthony Davis did Sunday.<br />The star center scored a franchise-record 59 points and pulled down 20 rebounds as the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Detroit Pistons 111-106.<br />"That was a lot of fun, because the rim looked so big that it felt like everything I shot was going to go in," Davis said.<br />"We made an effort to get him the ball in space, and Jrue [Holiday] did a great job of that," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said.<br />"That's a really good team, and Andre Drummond is one of the best centers in this league, so that really shows what A.D. can do when we get him in space."<br />Davis joined Shaquille O'Neal and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players with 55 points and 20 rebounds in a game in NBA history.<br />He also joined O'Neal and Chris Webber as the only players with 50 points and 20 rebounds in a game since 1983.
