The Golden State Warriors maintained their unbeaten record on the road. Recently, they secured a commanding victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The match marks the Pelicans’ first loss of the season, while the Warriors improve their overall record to 3-1. The Pelicans sorely missed the presence of Brandon Ingram. On the flip side, Klay Thompson‘s absence created the perfect stage for another Stephen Curry masterclass.
Ultimately, Curry capped the game with an impressive 42 points. Furthermore, he received support from Chris Paul, Moody, and Trayce Jackson-Davis, who each chipped in with 13 points, collectively driving the Warriors to the win.
