Pelicans escape with OT win over Bulls

It was probably inevitable that DeMarcus Cousins would turn in a less-than-stellar performance at some point.

Even in a relative clunker, Cousins managed to have a major impact.

Struggling for most of the contest, Cousins scored 17 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Anthony Davis had 27 points and 16 rebounds as the Pelicans outlasted the Bulls 96-90 in the second half of a back-to-back for both teams.
