NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis wore a supportive strap on his aching back and still managed to carry the New Orleans Pelicans on his shoulders until scrappy guard Tim Frazier could finish it off with clutch plays on both ends of the court. Cheap Dolphins Jerseys Authentic .Davis had 25 points, 16 rebounds, four steals and two blocks, and the Pelicans won for only the second time in their first 11 games, 106-105 over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.Frazier made a crucial steal of Marcus Smarts inbound pass near New Orleans basket with 14 seconds left. He also drew a shooting foul from Kelly Olynyk with 2.5 seconds left, setting up his go-ahead free throw for the final margin.He plays big, Davis said of Frazier, who finished with 10 points. He went in there with all them trees down there and got that steal. ... And then, that was a great job, a high basketball IQ, to draw that foul.Langston Galloway scored a season-high 21 points for New Orleans, which began the season with eight straight losses. Fellow reserve Terrence Jones added 15 points and a season-high 10 rebounds.Celtics coach Brad Stevens said his concern coming into the game wasnt so much what Davis would do, but whether hed get more of the help hes been lacking.Anthony is going to be Anthony, said Stevens, whose team limited Davis to 7-of-22 shooting. You cant let Langston Galloway go off. Jones has had great games against us for as long as I can remember. ... They really hurt us tonight.Isaiah Thomas scored 37 for Boston, including a driving scoop that tied the game with 7 seconds left.Frazier then pushed the ball up the floor and the 7-foot Olynyk picked Frazier up defensively near the perimeter.I knew I had a big on me, so I tried to see if I could get him to go, and he went, Frazier said.Olynyk said he tried to challenge what initially looked like a shot attempt, and then Frazier jumped into me and I picked up the foul.In part because the Celtics were out of timeouts and unable to advance the ball, they failed to get a decent shot off in the final 2 seconds. Bostons first inbound attempt from its own baseline deflected off New Orleans along the sideline with a tenth of a second left.The Celtics then attempted a long pass in hopes of a tip-in, but the inbound hit the rim and Smarts attempted put-back in a crowd of players was off the mark.Bostons Avery Bradley had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Smart scored 15 points, but Bradley said the Celtics didnt play well and failed to give Thomas help.It cant just be Isaiah, Bradley said. Its got to be other players out there making shots. ... Everybodys upset about it.TIP-INCeltics: Al Horford missed his seventh straight game because of concussion symptoms and it remains unclear when hell return. I dont want to put a timetable on it because I think its about how he feels day to day, Stevens said. Stevens added that once the Celtics decided not to play Horford, they got him an early flight back to Boston so he could get more rest.Pelicans: Rookie shooting guard Buddy Hield made his first start in place of ETwaun Moore. After tip-off, the Pelicans announced coach Alvin Gentry had decided to give Moore the night off to rest a right big toe injury. ... The Pelicans win was their first at home, where they improved to 1-5.BACK PAINDavis could be seen lying on the court near the bench when he wasnt playing and said it was to ease stress on his back.Every time I sit down it just tightens up, so that was the best way for me to try to keep it loose, Davis said. Youve got to play through it, fight through and try to do whatever you can do to help your team win.SQUANDERED LEADNew Orleans led by as many as 14 points when Dante Cunninghams 3 made it 65-51 in the third quarter, but the Pelicans briefly lost the lead in the final minutes.Weve got to continue to eliminate some of the mental mistakes and putting ourselves in harms way, Gentry said. But Gentry also added that he was pleased his team hung in and found a way to win.UP NEXTCeltics: Hosts Dallas on Wednesday night.Pelicans: Visit Orlando on Wednesday night.

Cheap Dolphins Jerseys Online . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. http://www.wholesaledolphinsjerseys.com/ . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. CLEVELAND -- Preseason Game No. 2 was a good nights work for Robert Griffin III.It was probably more than a good nights work. It was an excellent nights work as Griffin continues to try to revive his career with the?Cleveland Browns.Six days after a lackluster performance in Green Bay, Griffin played the majority of the first half and acccounted for 132 total yards against the Atlanta Falcons.He threw touchdown passes of 50 and 29 yards in five possessions and added runs of 14 and 22 yards. His 132 yards were 83 percent of the Browns total offense. His passer rating: 154.2.I thought he played pretty well, thought he did a good job of taking care of the ball and distributing the ball to some of our playmakers, coach Hue Jackson said.It would be tough to ask for more from Griffin, whose 50-yard TD went to Terrelle Pryor, who streaked past Desmond Trufant to catch the ball on the run. In two gaames, Pryor and Griffin have combined for receptions of 49 and 50 yards. Wholesale Dolphins Jerseys Free Shipping. The second TD was a better throw, and it went to tight end Gary Barnidge, who was past Keanu Neal.I thought he took care of the ball better. Obviously, were in the scoring zone and he didnt turn it over, Jackson said. He was able to make a huge play to Gary Barnidge down the sideline. Where last week we were in a similar situation and it wasnt the right situation and he turned it over. Thats improvement to me.The ball was put where only Barnidge could get it, and he reached out and grabbed it before tumbling into the end zone.I think it was [a step forward], Jackson said. We were able to get things cooking a little bit. Working the long ball. Still got a lot of things to work on.
