MEK EFFECT
Davis wasn't the only one blocking shots for New Orleans. Emeka Okafor, now in his second 10-day contract after being out of the league for four-plus seasons, had five blocks to go with seven rebounds in a little less than 18 minutes.
''My role as of now is just to do all the little things, you know, play good defense, grab rebounds,'' the 35-year-old Okafor said. ''It feels great that we're winning and I feel like I'm contributing in some form or fashion. ... but I'm just falling back on my go-to of, when in doubt, play good defense and just rebound the basketball and run.''
