    Anthony Davis sat on the court, a scowl on his face and his biceps flexed on each side of his head.

    The Pelicans All-Star had just converted a layup as he fell to the court after a hard foul. His strength-projecting celebration afterward was that of a franchise player determined to lay the foundation of his playoff legacy with a dominant performance in the clutch.

    Davis scored 33 of his franchise playoff-record 47 points in the second half -- including 12 points in the final five minutes -- and New Orleans completed a first-round playoff sweep of the Portland Trail Blazerswith a 131-123 victory on Saturday night.
