Steph Curry's Splashing Prowess Leads Warriors Past Pelicans
The Golden State Warriors, led by the ever-so-hot Steph Curry, escaped with a hard-fought victory against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. This game was a nail-biter, with the Warriors narrowly pulling away in the final minutes.
Curry's Stellar Performance
The "Chef" was absolutely cooking, dropping 30 points and dishing out 10 assists. He was on fire from three-point range, hitting 6 of his 11 attempts. His performance was the key to the Warriors' victory, as he was able to consistently create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He was even able to get Draymond Green involved, who chipped in 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Pelicans Put Up a Fight
But don't think the Pelicans just rolled over! They gave the Warriors a run for their money, especially in the second half. The Pelicans were led by a hot-shooting Brandon Ingram, who scored 28 points and added 6 assists. They even managed to tie the game at one point, showing their resilience and determination.
A Close Call
However, the Warriors ultimately proved to be too much for the Pelicans, pulling away down the stretch. Klay Thompson also played a key role in the win, contributing 23 points and 5 three-pointers. The Warriors' defense also stepped up, limiting the Pelicans to just 43% shooting.
This win keeps the Warriors in the thick of the playoff race. It was a tough battle, but a win is a win, and the Warriors will surely be looking to build off of this momentum moving forward. Next up, they face the Los Angeles Lakers, a game that's sure to be a hot ticket!
