NEW ORLEANS -- Theres no question which was the bigger shocker on opening night:
the Golden State Warriors losing their home opener by 29 points to the San
Antonio Spurs or the New Orleans Pelicans wasting a superhuman, 50-point,
16-rebound, seven-steal, four-block performance by Anthony Davis in a 107-102
home loss to Denver.

.The Warriors won that bar bet -- or actually lost it -- hands down.The new-look
Warriors, with the gaudy addition of All-Star forward Kevin Durant, were not
supposed to be 0-1 after going 39-2 on their home court last year en route to an
NBA-record 73 regular-season victories.The Pelicans, with Davis as their only
bankable star, were supposed to find creative ways to lose, and they came
through with a whopper, squandering a stat line unique in NBA history.The two
0-1 teams will face each other Friday night at the Smoothie King Center, and
they will be searching for early-season redemption.It was a slap in the face,
Durant said after scoring 27 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the loss to San
Antonio. Woke us up a bit.Davis said after his 50-point opener -- only the third
50-point performance in an NBA season opener since 1963-64 -- that he expects to
play as many minutes as Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry needs him to play, but he
added he was due for a massage.Carrying the load of a lightweight roster may get
pretty heavy, but Davis said no one is shedding tears for him. And, now, the
wounded Warriors await.After what happened a few nights ago, we know that theyre
going to come in hungry for a win, Davis said. Weve just got to come out
prepared knowing those guys are going to take some bad shots and make them go
in. Weve got to stay composed and not let that kill our spirit and let the
momentum go to them.Gentry saw the Pelicans give up 60 first-half points against
Denver before settling in and being more physical in the second half. He knows
Golden State, for whom he coached as an assistant in 2014-15, will be looking to
push the ball.Transition defense is going to be the key, Gentry said. Youve got
to keep those guys out of the paint. The drive and kick is what they live on,
spotting up at the 3-point line. People have to help on drives, and then they
kick the ball and hit 3-point shots.This is the first of a three-game road trip
for Golden State. The Warriors -- like the Pelicans -- were embarrassed on the
boards in their opener, losing the battle to San Antonio 55-35, including a 21-8
edge on the offensive glass. In six of their nine regular-season losses last
year, the Warriors were outrebounded. That was the case in seven of their nine
postseason losses last year.Golden State also pushed the pace against San
Antonio but committed 16 turnovers, which led to 17 Spurs points.For all their
talent in one locker room, the Warriors still need continuity. They are breaking
in six new players, including two new starters, Durant and center Zaza
Pachulia.People dont value continuity enough, Golden State GM Bob Myers said.
Its just so important -- experience together, continuity together. We will get
there, but were not there now. People may rear back at that kind of comment, but
its OK not to be a finished product in October.

LONDON -- More than two months after heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury
pulled out of his rematch with former champion Wladimir Klitschko, citing a
sprained ankle, the contractually mandated rematch was rescheduled on
Wednesday.They will meet again Oct. 29 at the Manchester Arena in Furys hometown
of Manchester, England.Im delighted that we can finally get the fight back on
and in Manchester on Oct. 29th, Peter Fury, Tysons uncle and trainer, said.
After hard discussions, we can now focus on giving the fans what they deserve --
another barnburner of a fight. Team Fury will ensure Tyson is in the shape of
his life to successfully retain his world titles.The fight was initially
scheduled to take place July 9, also at Manchester Arena, but the 28-year-old
Fury withdrew in late June after he said he sprained his ankle during a run and
his doctor told him he needed to lay off it for about six weeks.Fury and
Klitschko -- who genuinely seem to dislike each other given all the harsh words
they have exchanged -- are scheduled to appear to together at a news conference
Monday in London.On Nov. 28 in Dusseldorf, Germany, where Klitschko is a major
star, Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) pulled one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight
history. He won a unanimous decision -- 116-111, 115-112, 115-112 -- against
Ukraines Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs) to take his various sanctioning-organization
title belts and the lineal world championship, although he was later stripped of
one of the belts for accepting the rematch rather than facing a mandatory
opponent.Furys unexpected victory -- in a fight that was roundly criticized as
dull -- ended Klitschkos 11-year unbeaten run and historic 9?-year title reign,
during which he made 18 successful defenses -- the third most in heavyweight
history. Klitschko, who turned 40 in March, immediately exercised his right to a
rematch and agreed to fight in Furys hometown.Everyone involved has worked
tirelessly to get the world heavyweight title rematch between Tyson and
Wlaadimir back on and Im thrilled that its now officially confirmed, said Mick
Hennessy, Furys promoter.

This is the rematch that the boxing world has been waiting to see and the
anticipation is now at boiling point, so expect a highly charged and explosive
fight when the best two heavyweights in the world collide.As Tysons promoter, I
have 100 percent confidence that he will retain his titles in front of his fans
and make it another memorable night for British boxing to remember.Klitschko and
his team grew frustrated in recent weeks by the delay in rescheduling the fight.
Klitschko even threatened to sue Fury in an effort to force him to live up to
their contract. But now that the rematch is on, all is well.Team Klitschko is
very happy that after Furys postponements we finally have a new date, said Bernd
Boente, Klitschkos manager. It is great that our event can stay in the
Manchester Arena. This is one of the best venues worldwide and has already seen
many great fights. We know that Wladimir will be in the best shape on Oct. 29th
and we are very confident that he will regain the heavyweight championships.Fury
will go into the rematch with questions about possible performance-enhancing
drug use hanging over him, although not in regards to the November fight with
Klitschko.Fury tested positive for a banned substance in an earlier fight, even
though, for reasons that are unclear, the results did not come to light until
June, well after he had beaten Klitschko. Fury faces a hearing on Nov. 4 and if
he is found guilty he could be banned. Of course, by that time he will have
already faced Klitschko in a lucrative rematch.The fight will air on host
broadcaster BoxNation in the United Kingdom and is expected to be added to the
HBO schedule in the United States. Tickets purchased for the original July 9
date remain valid for the rescheduled bout.
