The Golden State Warriors are going to see a lot of the New Orleans Pelicans down the stretch and wasted no time setting the tone Monday.
Golden State defeated New Orleans 123-108 at the Smoothie King Center in the first of three matchups between the teams in a 12-day span. Stephen Curry led the way for the victors, who improved to 33-32 on the season with their second straight win and moved four games ahead of the Pelicans in the race for the Western Conference play-in tournament.
A solid showing from Zion Williamson was not enough for New Orleans as it fell to 29-36 and saw its own two-game winning streak come to an end.

It was with that backdrop that the Warriors coach said Stephen Curry is starting to remind him of his legendary teammate. He s reminding me of MJ in that you just get so used to the brilliance and the excellence, it sort of blends in with everything else, Kerr said, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. It just becomes routine. It s insane to say that because what you re watching is otherworldly, and yet you sort of begin to expect it. That s probably the purest sign of greatness.
