Steph Curry’s spectacular 42-point performance powered the Golden State Warriors to a resounding 130-102 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, extending the Warriors’ unbeaten streak on the road to 3-0.
Despite the Pelicans’ efforts to contain Curry, the four-time NBA champion’s explosive scoring, combined with a crucial 13-1 run led by Chris Paul off the bench, solidified the Warriors’ commanding lead.
While Zion Williamson’s 19-point contribution helped the Pelicans stay competitive in the first half, the team struggled to contain Curry’s offensive onslaught in the second half, marking their first loss of the season after two initial victories.
The absence of key players such as Klay Thompson for the Warriors and Brandon Ingram for the Pelicans didn’t dampen the intensity of the game, as both teams demonstrated resilience despite the roster changes.
As Curry’s scoring prowess propelled the Warriors to another impressive victory on the road, the Pelicans faced the challenge of regrouping after their first defeat of the season, emphasizing the competitive nature of the early stages of the NBA season.
