The Golden State Warriors persevered after being down big early against the New Orleans Pelicans to walk out with a strong win.
The Warriors ended the night 109-120 winners, as the game featured a lot of Draymond Green trash-talking moments, including an altercation with Brandon Ingram. Green held his ground on the trash-talk against the Pelicans after the game.
“We started playing with heart and intensity. That first quarter and a half they punked us and we were down 20. It takes a real one to talk when you down 20. I was able to get my guys going and they started doing what they do so I could do what I do.”

Green had 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 13 assists on the night. His impact was felt not only through his antics but his hustle on defense, especially in the second half. Stephen Curry exploded with a 38-point performance to put Golden State over the top.
Have The Warriors Solidifed Their Position as The 6th Seed?
The Golden State Warriors joined the 40-win club tonight, sitting with a 40-37 record with just 5 games left in the season. They’re just half a game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves and have put themselves 1.5 games clear of the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers are 2 games behind the Warriors, so they have many rising teams to stave off.
The Warriors have a mixed schedule to end the season, facing the Spurs, Nuggets, Thunder, Kings, and Blazers. The Spurs and Blazers are fully tanking while the Nuggets may start resting players for their postseason run. The same may apply to the Kings given they’re one win away from qualifying.
The Warriors have a lot to play for, so even the 3 road games on this schedule should keep them on the right track to get in their playoff groove.
