Warriors Win a Close One

     In their last home game for the next two weeks, the Golden State Warriors hosted New Orleans in what turned out to be a close game.  The warriors were pressured by some great shooting by the Pelicans from the Big Easy.  They stayed close through the first half and pulled ahead by as much as 17 points in the 3rd quarter.  The Warriors were cold and couldn't seem to get going.  Then, 3rd quarter magic began to take over.
     Coach Kerr was juggling his line up, moving defense in and out, resting Steph Curry who was in early foul trouble.  K Durant was not having a great night, and bench players needed to step up, and they did.   As the Golden Staters pulled close, the Pelicans began to get a little careless: the defense failed as the 3 point shooters found the mark.   By the end of the 3rd, the warriors had eclipsed the Mud Bugs and the crowd was now back in the game.
     Steph Curry got hot  and was able to keep the margin intact as the clock counted down.  The game ended 145-140, Golden State.  Nice game to watch.
    Draymond Green had a big night with 17 points and 14 assists and several blocked shots.  He made 4 -3 pointers!  The second half is 6 games in and the Warriors have yet to lose.
