Games against the Warriors show everyone’s true colors. Last night’s loss to the Dubs is sure to become a polarizing benchmark in the season for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The New Orleans Pelicans, still in search of their own first win, last night had the misfortune of drawing the Golden State Warriors coming off their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in LA.
This had all the makings of a blowout loss, and it looked to be heading that way in the second quarter. The two-time MVP Stephen Curry would build the Warriors lead up to 21 by nailing 6 threes in the opening quarter.
However, the Pelicans would trim that deficit to 14 at the half and fight all way back to even lead at moments during the 3rd quarter. In the end though, poor 4th quarter execution did the Pelicans in. Turnovers that led to easy points would be New Orleans’ achilles heel. However, this was not a bad result for New Orleans, and they showed great resiliency in fighting back. It took Curry Magic tonight for the Warriors to hold off the 0-7 Pelicans.
Here are the grades from tonight’s affair:
