From watching Dub Nation collectively hold its breath through an abysmal first quarter to witnessing the inevitable resurrection that followed, last night’s Warriors-Pelicans matchup was a perfect encapsulation of this season’s roller coaster.
The Warriors clawed back from early catastrophe to secure a convincing 111-95 victory over the Pelicans, maintaining their grip on seventh place in the increasingly chaotic Western Conference playoff race with a 42-31 record.
The Warriors, Clippers and Timberwolves all win, remaining bunched in standings while inching closer to struggling Grizzlies/Lakers. Memphis has Lakers, Celtics, Warriors next three.
4. Lakers: 44-29
