Warriors (1-1), Pelicans (0-2)
In a similar storyline to what took place in the Smoothie King Center two nights earlier, Anthony Davis was unstoppable Friday, this time posting 45 points and 17 rebounds. Just like Wednesday’s game vs. Denver, it wasn’t quite enough for New Orleans to come up with a victory.
Facing a historically great shooting team, the Pelicans picked a bad night to misfire from the perimeter, unable to keep up with Golden State’s prolific attack. Davis put up ridiculous numbers after going for 50 and 16 against the Nuggets, but the Pelicans shot just 5/22 from the three-point arc.
