The New Orleans Pelicans (23-15) orchestrated a dominating performance, crushing the Golden State Warriors (17-20) with a decisive 141-105 victory on Wednesday night. This marked the Warriors’ second consecutive home defeat, following a prior loss to the Toronto Raptors (133-118).
Amidst frustrated fans expressing discontent with boos at the Chase Center, the Warriors grappled with substantial deficits, leading to yet another disheartening and lopsided loss.
Klay Thompson, contributing 13 points in 24 minutes, provided insights into the team’s mood during the postgame pres conference.
He acknowledged the palpable disappointment, stating, “Pretty deflating mood, but that’s expected when you get blown out twice in a row at home,” as reported by Jack Winter of ClutchPoints.
Thompson emphasized the necessity for defensive improvement, expressing concern about the high shooting percentages the Pelicans achieved. He remarked, “That’s not our identity—just relenting on defense, that is.”
Looking ahead to their game in Chicago on Friday, Thompson stressed the importance of reestablishing a gritty defensive stance.
