Curry is out
The Golden State Warriors are still in the league first place, but recently their form has been a bit bad, and the last game was even more upset to the Dallas Lone Ranger. It's not so much the Warriors' poor form as Steven Curry's feellessness. As the team's star, Stephen Curry's recent performances are indeed unsatisfactory, shooting 3 of 17 against the Heat and 5 of 24 against the Lone Rangers, this game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Kerr simply used injury as an excuse to give Curry a good rest.
The New Orleans Pelicans have suffered three straight losses and are in second-to-last place in the West, but even so, Zion's comeback is still far away. It's certainly a good opponent for the Golden State Warriors, who just lost, but this time, the only thing they can rely on is Andrew Wiggins.
The course of the game
Jordan Poole came to the starting lineup, but in the first quarter of 3 shots 0 did not score a point, only 2 assists and 1 steal, there were also 2 turnovers, in this case, Wiggins had 7 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block, helping the team barely get 22 points, fortunately, the Pelicans felt cold, Ingram had 6 points and 1 rebound, and the team only scored 16 points. After returning from the second quarter, Wiggins scored six more points on 3-of-4 shooting, but Ingram exploded, scoring 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-6 shooting.
Led by Ingram, the Pelicans ended halftime and overtook the Warriors by one point at 47-46. In the second half, Wiggins relied on free throws to get 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, but the help provided by his teammates was too little, Poole still did not score in the sports war, the Warriors scored 26 points in a single quarter, and the Pelicans scored 28 points, of which Ingram had 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. In the final quarter that decided the outcome of the game, the Warriors suddenly fell into a scoring drought, playing only 6 points in the half quarter, and the Pelicans once took a 9-point lead.
The Warriors then kept chasing, and in 20 seconds, they played a small 7-0 climax, and the point difference returned to 3 points. The two sides fought a free throw battle, Hart made two free throws and One Shot, and Poole was able to score three points, but it was too late, and Jones killed the game with both free throws.

Upset lose
