The Golden State Warriors secured their second consecutive victory over the New Orleans Pelicans with a final score of 104-89. Trayce Jackson-Davis made an impressive contribution with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Draymond Green added 14 points and six assists to lead the Warriors to victory.
Despite missing key players like Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins due to injuries, the Warriors demonstrated their depth with a strong 12-man rotation. Jackson-Davis continued his excellent shooting form, making 22 out of 27 shots in the first five games of the season.
On the other hand, the Pelicans, who were without CJ McCollum and Herb Jones, relied on Jordan Hawkins, who scored 23 points despite battling back spasms. Zion Williamson struggled to find his rhythm, scoring only 12 points on 5-for-20 shooting, a significant drop from his previous performance.
The Warriors capitalized on a strong start in the first quarter, shooting 52.2% from the field to take an early lead. This contrasted with the Pelicans’ slow start, as they struggled to find their offensive rhythm.
Looking ahead, the Pelicans will aim to bounce back as they face the Indiana Pacers in their upcoming game, followed by a four-game homestand. Meanwhile, the Warriors will hit the road for five games starting with a matchup against the Houston Rockets. Fans can look forward to Klay Thompson’s return to the home court on November 12 when the Warriors take on the Dallas Mavericks.
