On December 31, 2015, the Warriors challenged the Pelicans away from home. This was also the Warriors' third game of the new season and the first back-to-back away game.
After being swept in the first round of the playoffs last season and losing to the Warriors in the opening game of this season, the Pelicans will definitely not be resigned to it, and they are well prepared.
The score in the first quarter was 31:28. Four Warriors scored, namely Curry's 10 points, Green's 8 points, Clay's 7 points and Iguodala's 6 points.
Obviously, the most reassuring and reliable people about the Warriors are these four people.
Holiday broke out in the second quarter and scored 11 points in a single quarter. The Pelicans' substitutes also performed very well. They defeated the Warriors 37:33 in a single quarter and overtook the score.
It seems that the Pelicans' preparations have worked and they can compete with the Warriors on the court.
But the arrival of Yong Sanfang in the third quarter turned everything into an illusion!
Curry broke out again in the third quarter. He made 10 of 13 shots in a single quarter and 5 of 7 3-pointers. He scored 28 points in a single quarter and led the team to a 41:26 victory.
The Pelicans' total team score in the third quarter was not as high as Curry's...
The game also lost its suspense.
The final score was fixed at 134:120. The Warriors defeated the Pelicans back-to-back on the road, winning their third consecutive victory.
Curry played 36 minutes, making 17 of 27 shots and 8 of 14 three-pointers. He scored 53 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.
The Warriors' second best performer was Draymond Green. He made 7 of 12 shots and 4 of 5 three-pointers, scoring the team's second-highest 21 points.
The best performers for the Pelicans were Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday, who scored 26 and 22 points respectively.
This game once again proved the fact that a healthy Jrue Holiday has no way to deal with Curry!
Those who say "if Jrue Holiday is completely healthy, the Warriors will not get through the playoffs so easily" can be thrown into the toilet.

The second day after winning against the Nuggets, the Warriors challenged the Kings away from home.
Since they are playing back-to-back games, the Warriors have some physical issues.
But the Kings are a weak team. Their lineup is incomplete. The five starting players are Rondo, Rudy Gay, Kufus, Quincy Acy, and James Anderson. Most fans don't know the last two players.
The Kings' substitutes are Belinelli, Casspi, Stan, McLemore and Caron Butler, and none of them are good.
Although not strong, under the leadership of Rondo, the Kings still fought against the Warriors until the last moment.

Assists and only three turnovers.
I have to say that a player like Rondo is quite good.
If it weren't for shooting that limited Rondo, he could definitely become a superstar.
