I know Warriors Coach Mark "Action" Jackson was anxious to see what type of team he had coming off of giving up 127 points in OKC last night . The Warriors were in the Pelicans Nest of NOLA on the 2nd leg of a Back 2 Back Motel Swing and did Run T.L.C. answer the bell or did they go down swinging again in the "L" Column?
Behind a 28-point and eight assist night from Young Steph and 22 points and eight rebound night from David Lee the Warriors caught their 2nd wind just in time after the intermission to fold up the Pelicans in the Pelicans Nest 97-87. The Warriors down 54-52 at the break catch a 26-18 run behind a few baskets by Steph, D-Lee, and Bogut (10 pts 15 rebs) with "Iggy of Planet Oracle" adding Free Shots here and there. G.S.W. didn't shoot well from the Field nor the Arc but knock down 90% from the stripe.
The Pelicans were in a good spot heading into the 2nd half as their inability to hit shots and make plays down the stretch took them right out of the Winner's Circle. Big Ant Davis' game-high 31 points and seventeen rebounds carried NOLA as "Reke Havoc" Evans (14 pts) and Al Faraq Aminu (12 pts) were the only two the Pelicans in double figures.
With the Clips losing tonight in Indy the Warriors with a win move to two games of the Lead in the Pacific at 26-16. The Pelicans fall to 15-24 as the Nest is in a Free Fall.
