The way I play, I just leave it out on the floor, so I cant control myself when that stuff happens. Its just instinctive. I just go out there and play as hard as I can. If it happened again tomorrow, Id probably do it again, to be honest.Davis was initially designated in the second quarter as questionable to return. Following the X-rays, the Pelicans medical staff performed treatment on the knee in an effort to get Davis back on the court.After missing the entirety of the second and third quarters, Davis checked back into the game to start the fourth quarter, with the Pelicans leading the Hawks 95-71. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said the decision to reinsert Davis into a blowout was largely to determine how the Pelicans star might perform in Wednesday nights game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in New Orleans (ESPN, 9:30 p.m. ET).He came back out and said he could go, and so we stuck him in the game for a few minutes, Gentry said.

New Orleans, which at one juncture in the third quarter led Atlanta by 35 points, notched its third consecutive victory and shot above 50 percent for the second time this season.The streak has coincided with the return of guard Jrue Holiday, who scored 15 points and contributed four assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday, after missing the Pelicans first dozen games. Tim Frazier led all scorers with 26 points -- matching a career high -- and added a career-high 14 assists.?Terrence Jones, who was battling an illness prior to the game, contributed 17 points.For us, we just have to do all the little things, Davis said.
