With no Stephen Curry, no Andrew Wiggins, and no De'Anthony Melton, the Warriors looked like they were in for a long night, as the Pelicans raced out to a 34-14 lead early into the 2nd quarter. However, the Dubs crawled their way back into the game and eventually took over in the 4th quarter, in large part thanks to Lindy Waters III, who headlined with 21 points on 8-13 shooting, adding 8 rebounds and 4 assists. The Warriors also received big help from Brandin Podziemski (19 points, 8-18 FG), Jonathan Kuminga, (17 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals), and Buddy Hield, who scored 19 of his team-high 28 points in the 4th quarter.
