If LeBron James murdered Jusuf Nurkic last month, then Anthony Davis buried him in the ground and had his funeral, and then danced on his grave Thursday night. Sorry if this got dark.
In game three of the first round series between the New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans continued its absolute dismantling of Portland, the Western Conference's supposed 3-seed that's not even putting up a fight.

Nurkic thought he had an easy rebound until Davis came barreling down the lane to utterly embarrass him, and it somehow got worse afterwards. Check out the full play:
