Warriors (15-5), Pelicans (11-9)
OAKLAND – New Orleans went up by 14 in the first quarter, but as often happens at Oracle Arena, Golden State surged back, eventually taking a lead of 16 points. The Warriors kept the Pelicans at arm’s length for much of the second half, handing New Orleans a defeat in the second game of a weekend road back-to-back.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Stephen Curry made an acrobatic layup with just under two minutes left, giving Golden State a 10-point lead. Curry struggled from three-point range Saturday, but still managed to burn New Orleans with timely baskets in the second half.
