NEW ORLEANS — Paul Millsap and his Atlanta teammates didn’t sound terribly concerned about the end of the Hawks’ franchise-record 19-game winning streak.

After all, the Hawks’ 115-100 loss to surging New Orleans on Monday night — in a game marked by Anthony Davis’ ferocious play — was only Atlanta’s third defeat in 36 games.

“We’ve got a lot of season left,” Millsap said when asked to put the recent winning streak in perspective. “Nineteen games, that’s good. We lost one — 19-1 now. So it’s just regrouping. ... We can’t let one loss turn into two losses.”

Davis, returning from a left groin strain that sidelined him one game, had 29 points and 13 rebounds to help the Pelicans win for the sixth time in seven games. New Orleans’ recent run of good form has included victories over other contending squads, such as Dallas and the Los Angeles Clippers, and has pulled the Pelicans (26-22) within a game of Phoenix (28-22) for eighth place in the Western Conference.
