NBA: Golden State Warriors at New Orleans Pelicans

3rd Quarter

Draymond Green got a technical to end the second quarter, so the Pelicans got a free point before the quarter began. The two teams traded baskets this quarter and the Warriors were able to protect their lead. Green and the Splash Brothers got it going for the Dubs, but Jrue Holiday and Evans kept the Pelicans within striking distance. The Pelicans then went on a 9-0 run thanks to a good team effort from New Orleans. They took a one points lead and the crowd was revived. The Dubs had six turnovers in the third and they allowed the Pelicans to score at will. The teams are tied at 89 after three quarters.

4th Quarter

No team could really build on their lead and the Warriors didn’t look like themselves on the defensive end. You can tell they really miss Bogut. The Pelicans then got hot and took a six point advantage with six minutes to go. The backcourt of Evans and Holiday are playing better than the Splash Brothers. The Warriors were able to make it a one point game.

Overtime

The Warriors came out with a purpose in the overtime period. Draymond Green got an and-one to start the period and Steph Curry followed with a deep three to give the Warriors a seven point lead. The Dubs turned it up a notch. Curry is so clutch and knocked down another, plus Green chipped in with another bucket, which gave the Warriors an 11 point lead.
