The Golden State Warriors have won their first game and they did so in dominant fashion. Call off the riots and silence the early-season hot takes because the Warriors are no longer winless.
The team notched their first win of the season in a convincing 134-123 victory over the Zion Williamson-less New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.
The game was significant not only in that is was the Warriors’ first victory, but we also got a glimpse of a new beginning in the form of a revitalized “Death Lineup.”
With Willie Cauley-Stein and Kevon Looney both out nursing injuries, head coach Steve Kerr opted to run with a familiar starting lineup — albeit with a few new faces.
