The Pelicans were blitzed early and often. After making some headway following an abysmal first quarter, the house came crashing down in the final minutes of the first half. Then it was announced that Tyreke Evans, who had left with a knee contusion in the second quarter, would not return to this game. In the second half, the Warriors built a lead of 25 points.
However, did the New Orleans Pelicans quit? Oh hell naw!
With 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the hobbled Pelicans were only down 11 points.
