NEW ORLEANS (AP) Anthony Davis had 38 points and 16 rebounds, Jrue Holiday added 22 points and nine assists, and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Charlotte Hornets 121-116 in overtime Saturday night for their second straight win.

New Orleans (4-10), which hadn't won back-to-back games all season, overcame a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit and found unlikely bench scoring from guard Langston Galloway to keep Charlotte (8-4) from tying its best franchise start through 12 games.

Galloway finished with 23 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter.

Kemba Walker led the Hornets with 25 points, while Marco Belinelli added 22 points and 10 rebounds. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 10 points and 12 rebounds for Charlotte.
