Warriors struggle against New Orleans Pelicans, lose Game 3 100-119

“I wish I wasn’t hurt”, he said, “but I’m not looking for any excuses”. “He attacked the rim strong tonight”.

Green shares the same reaction and added that every player who goes on the court was just trying to win the game.

Davis’ determined play around the basket helped New Orleans outscore the Warriors 54-36 in the paint and outrebound Golden State 54-44. “They definitely punched us in the mouth at the beginning of the game”. Our mindset is to go out there, play, and do what we’re supposed to do from all the game planning.

Yet when he was asked about “getting into it” with Rondo after Game 3 – which the Pelicans dominated 119-100 to cut the Warriors’ lead to 2-1 – Green wasn’t having it.

New Orleans led 29-27 after the first quarter and only trailed 58-55 at the half. Stephen Curry has put up 28 points per game, while shooting a ridiculous 50% from deep.

“Most of it is attributed to the Pelicans“. While HQ Trivia seeks to keep players glued to their mobile screens, Steph IQ urges fans to keep their eyes on live televised games, as the trivia game starts when Curry sinks his first three-pointer. “They were the aggressors”. If you are against him though you hate what he brings to the game. Jrue Holiday contributed 21 points, seven rebounds plus five assists while Ian Clark came off the bench to score 18.

The Pels gave the Warriors all they had in Game 2, but still came up short in a 121-116 loss at Oracle Arena.

Draymond Green contributed 20 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds while battling Davis on both ends all night. Mirotic scored 25 and 21 points in key late-season victories over Memphis and San Antonio, then poured in 30 points in Game 3 of the sweep vs. Portland (he had a rare quiet 10-point day in Game 4, but only took eight shots from the field).

Now their combustible convergence in the playoffs is providing a spicy subplot to the Western Conference semifinal series between New Orleans and Golden State. The Warriors lead the all-time regular season series 34-20 and took the regular season series 3-1 though New Orleans won the last meeting 126-120 here on April 7.

Curry, however, wasn’t prepared to pat himself on the back as he was disappointed with his shooting display in New Orleans.

Kerr’s players were less critical of Rondo’s conduct. This series is being played at breakneck speed, and the Pelicans got their offense going in Game 2. This game won’t be decided by the high profile players, and I see New Orleans prevailing in that type of game. He finished with 18 points on the night. Davis is also pulling down 12 rebounds each game. Holiday scored 21 points. Scratch that, they were THE best team in regards to game pace. The Rockets picked apart Utah’s defense practically from the opening tip. In his first game back, he showed why. Totals 35-84 11-15 92. Going into Game 4, it’s imperative the Warriors prepare themselves for an even greater level of physicality and unnecessary pettiness.

Thompson’s layup and two 3s in quick succession pulled the Warriors to 62-56 at halftime, but the Pelicans opened the third quarter with a 10-2 run and led by double digits the rest of the way.

What would happen in the third quarter? They are accomplished leaders who produce.
