SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A half-dozen students stood outside War Memorial Gymnasium at the University of San Francisco on Sunday morning, gazing through the glass doors to sneak a peak of a 6-foot-10 power forward who has become one of basketball's biggest attractions. Davis is still trying to make his mark in a place Russell left an impression more than anybody else: the NBA playoffs. The 22-year-old teammates and coaches call "A.D." finally got a taste of the postseason when his New Orleans Pelicans lost 106-99 to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. "A lot of young guys would've folded the tent after his first half," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said before practice in San Francisco. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night across the bay in Oakland, where the top-seeded Warriors have won 19 straight and 40 of 42 this season. If the Pelicans have any hope to win a game, let alone the series, they'll need Davis at his best from start to finish each time they take the floor. Warriors center Andrew Bogut and versatile forward Draymond Green also had plenty to do with that, forcing him to take jump shots and contesting everything near the rim. If I look up, he's looking at me. Because he just wants to tell me like, 'OK, give me the ball.
