OAKLAND — Below are some takeaways from the Warriors’ morning shootaround before the Warriors (7-1) host the New Orleans Pelicans (4-2) on Wednesday at Oracle Arena.
Will Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant or Klay Thompson have another dominating scoring performance? The Warriors anticipate it, but something else might fuel them against the Pelicans. They are facing Cousins’ former team.
“We definitely want to win for him,” Green said. “Obviously he feels a way about whatever the way he feels about.”
How do the Warriors know Cousins wants them to beat his former team on his behalf?
“He said it,” Warriors center Damian Jones said, laughing.
