Like all good things, the Atlanta Hawks’ franchise best nineteen-game win streak couldn’t last forever.

The Hawks were 40-8 going into Monday’s game against the Pelicans, but a strong performance from Anthony Davis proved to much to overcome. “The Brow” was 12-23 from the field and New Orleans’ All-Star big man added 13 rebounds to his game-high 29 points. Davis’ blend of size and athleticism — coupled with an ever-improving outside jumpshot — allowed him to spread the Hawks defense and crash the boards all night.

A dreadful shooting night for Atlanta further contributed to the loss; the Hawks shot only 31 percent from beyond the arc, nearly 20 percentage points below their league-leading average.
