Jrue Holiday had 29 points to lead six New Orleans scorers in double figures as the host Pelicans ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Washington Wizards 125-104 on Wednesday night.
Anthony Davis added 28 points and 15 rebounds while point guard Tim Frazier, whose insertion into the starting lineup allowed Holiday to return to his natural shooting guard position, also had a double-double, finishing with 12 points and 12 assists.
Holiday had struggled while playing point guard in the absence of starter Elfrid Payton, who is sidelined due to finger surgery that is expected to keep him out for another month.
