No drama, no theatrics and no messing around. The Golden State Warriors are moving on to the second round of the NBA playoffs the only way they know how—in style.
After taking complete control of its first-round series with a miraculous Game 3 victory that crippled the New Orleans Pelicans' waning hopes, Golden State dealt one final knockout blow to the eighth seed with a 109-98win on Saturday night.
Just as they did while posting the NBA's largest margin of victory during the regular season, the Warriors employed flawless offensive execution fueled by three-point shooting, transition scoring and pinpoint passing to overwhelm the Pelicans.
