After running through the San Antonio Spurs in a short five-game series, the Golden State Warriors moved onto the second round of the 2018 NBA playoffs. They’ll face a New Orleans Pelicans team that is fresh off a shocking sweep of the third seeded Portland Trail Blazers.
Dating back to the regular season, New Orleans has rattled off nine straight victories. Led by one of the game’s best big men, the Pelicans are on a roll and looking to shake up the Western Conference playoffs.
