For a third time this 2017-18 regular season, the New Orleans Pelicans take on the basketball playing Death Star that is the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors hold the season edge over New Orleans 2-0 though both wins were close and featured Golden State overcoming early deficits in the second half.
In New Orleans’ home opener, the Pelicans got off to a 17-6 lead and were up by as many as 15 points before watching a 64-61 halftime advantage flip on its head and turn into an 11-point deficit. Draymond Green received a technical foul and inadvertently sparked a 28-7 Warrior rally.
