• Golden State doesn’t need Steph Curry to be great. Golden State jumped out to an early 14-4 lead and never trailed in an eventual 118-92 victory in New Orleans. Golden State didn’t shoot well from behind the arc, either, going just 11 for 33. Golden State has an edge in fast break points (9-7) and have committed three turnovers that have become five Pelicans points, compared to eight Pelicans turnovers becoming 14 points for Golden State. Golden State has also missed its final nine threes of the first half – many of which were open looks that just didn’t go down.
