The Golden State Warriors continued their impressive run in the NBA with a dominant 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Stephen Curry scored 25 points in just over 20 minutes, while Brandin Podziemski also finished with 25. The result gave Golden State its eighth straight victory and showed the team’s growing confidence early in the season.
The Warriors built a large lead in the opening period and never allowed New Orleans to settle into the game. Their quick ball movement and strong shooting helped them take control before halftime. Golden State also received an important contribution from Yaxel Lendeborg, who scored 23 points and added seven rebounds and four assists.
Curry continued to show why he remains one of the league’s most dangerous shooters. He made six of his 10 attempts from the field and connected on four three-pointers. His performance came after he had scored 41 points in the Warriors’ overtime victory over Orlando on Saturday. He also moved past DeMar DeRozan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, reaching 16th place with 26,803 career points.
Podziemski’s performance gave Golden State another reliable scoring option. The team also recorded 37 assists, continuing a strong pattern of sharing the ball. The Warriors have now reached at least 30 assists in three consecutive games, showing how their passing has helped create open shots.
New Orleans struggled to keep pace with Golden State. The Pelicans were missing several players and found it difficult to deal with the Warriors’ movement and shooting. Their defence allowed Golden State to build a huge advantage before the final quarter.
The victory extends the Warriors’ winning streak to eight games and gives them another positive result as they continue their early-season campaign. Curry and his teammates will look to maintain the same energy and teamwork in their upcoming games, including a challenging meeting with the Gonzaga Bulldogs later in the week.
