NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis wore a supportive strap on his aching back and still managed to carry the New Orleans Pelicans on his shoulders until scrappy guard Tim Frazier could finish it off with clutch plays on both ends of the court.Davis had 25 points, 16 rebounds, four steals and two blocks, and the Pelicans won for only the second time in their first 11 games, 106-105 over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.Frazier made a crucial steal of Marcus Smarts inbound pass near New Orleans basket with 14 seconds left. He also drew a shooting foul from Kelly Olynyk with 2.5 seconds left, setting up his go-ahead free throw for the final margin.He plays big, Davis said of Frazier, who finished with 10 points. He went in there with all them trees down there and got that steal. ... And then, that was a great job, a high basketball IQ, to draw that foul.Langston Galloway scored a season-high 21 points for New Orleans, which began the season with eight straight losses. Fellow reserve Terrence Jones added 15 points and a season-high 10 rebounds.Celtics coach Brad Stevens said his concern coming into the game wasnt so much what Davis would do, but whether hed get more of the help hes been lacking.Anthony is going to be Anthony, said Stevens, whose team limited Davis to 7-of-22 shooting. You cant let Langston Galloway go off. Jones has had great games against us for as long as I can remember. ... They really hurt us tonight.Isaiah Thomas scored 37 for Boston, including a driving scoop that tied the game with 7 seconds left.Frazier then pushed the ball up the floor and the 7-foot Olynyk picked Frazier up defensively near the perimeter.I knew I had a big on me, so I tried to see if I could get him to go, and he went, Frazier said.Olynyk said he tried to challenge what initially looked like a shot attempt, and then Frazier jumped into me and I picked up the foul.In part because the Celtics were out of timeouts and unable to advance the ball, they failed to get a decent shot off in the final 2 seconds. Bostons first inbound attempt from its own baseline deflected off New Orleans along the sideline with a tenth of a second left.The Celtics then attempted a long pass in hopes of a tip-in, but the inbound hit the rim and Smarts attempted put-back in a crowd of players was off the mark.Bostons Avery Bradley had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Smart scored 15 points, but Bradley said the Celtics didnt play well and failed to give Thomas help.It cant just be Isaiah, Bradley said. Its got to be other players out there making shots. ... Everybodys upset about it.TIP-INCeltics: Al Horford missed his seventh straight game because of concussion symptoms and it remains unclear when hell return. I dont want to put a timetable on it because I think its about how he feels day to day, Stevens said. Stevens added that once the Celtics decided not to play Horford, they got him an early flight back to Boston so he could get more rest.Pelicans: Rookie shooting guard Buddy Hield made his first start in place of ETwaun Moore. After tip-off, the Pelicans announced coach Alvin Gentry had decided to give Moore the night off to rest a right big toe injury. ... The Pelicans win was their first at home, where they improved to 1-5.BACK PAINDavis could be seen lying on the court near the bench when he wasnt playing and said it was to ease stress on his back.Every time I sit down it just tightens up, so that was the best way for me to try to keep it loose, Davis said. Youve got to play through it, fight through and try to do whatever you can do to help your team win.SQUANDERED LEADNew Orleans led by as many as 14 points when Dante Cunninghams 3 made it 65-51 in the third quarter, but the Pelicans briefly lost the lead in the final minutes.Weve got to continue to eliminate some of the mental mistakes and putting ourselves in harms way, Gentry said. But Gentry also added that he was pleased his team hung in and found a way to win.UP NEXTCeltics: Hosts Dallas on Wednesday night.Pelicans: Visit Orlando on Wednesday night.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Mitch Trubiskys wait is finally over.The quarterback will make his first career start Saturday for No. 22 North Carolina in the opener against No. 18 Georgia in Atlanta. It comes after two years of preparation with only spot game action and plenty of watching from the sideline.Its exciting just because I guess the label comes with it, Trubisky said. Im going out there as a starter. Im one of the leaders of this offense, so I do feel theres more responsibility on my shoulders, which makes it more special for me.Its the same offense. I do have a good amount of experience, so I think that give me confidence.Trubisky, a 6-foot-3 junior from Mentor, Ohio, arrived in January 2013 as one of head coach Larry Fedoras first recruits as he installed a fast-paced spread offense at UNC. He was the guy many expected to be the Tar Heels long-term quarterback once starter Bryn Renners career was done, but he instead ended up playing behind dual-threat Marquise Williams for two seasons.As Williams moved the chains and directed an offense that set school records during an 11-win season, Trubisky kept working and waiting. Now with Williams gone, Fedora named Trubisky the starter in the spring so he could come into preseason camp as the unquestioned leader.Now its time to see what Trubisky will do in a game in that role.Im convinced hes our guy, so theres no question about that, Fedora said. Coming off the bench in a relief role and being the starter, there is a difference there. There will be a bit of a learning curve for him in that aspect. You dont have time to ease into the game. Youve got to roll.But his role doesnt change. Its take care of the football and lets movee the chains.dddddddddddd Thats it.New Georgia coach Kirby Smart doesnt look at Trubisky as a newcomer. He figures the past two years of experience have prepared Trubisky to play Saturday.Hes probably the best quarterback that nobody knows about, because in my mind its almost like hes a returning starter because of what he played early in the year, Smart said, and the guy does a really good job with offense.Trubisky has thrown just 125 career passes, but he has responded in a handful of key moments despite coming in cold off the bench for a single play.Two years ago, he came on when Williams had to leave the game after losing his helmet on a play and threw the winning 16-yard touchdown pass with 4:05 left in a 28-27 win at Virginia. Then last year, he did it two more times when Williams again lost his helmet on a play -- first by throwing a first-quarter touchdown pass at North Carolina State, then by throwing a third-down pass to move the chains against then-No. 1 Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.The difference now is those moments will come in much more than one-snap chances.I dont really feel I have anything to prove to anyone else except my teammates who have always believed in me to this point, who have stuck by me in thick and thin, Trubisky said. I just want to go out there and do it for them. Theyve seen me do it in practice so I want to go out and do it for them on Saturdays.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
