Stephen Curry scored 25 points in 20-plus minutes, Yaxel Lendeborg added 23 points, and the Warriors won their eighth straight game by 51 points against an undermanned Pelicans team Monday night.
The Golden State Warriors earned their eighth consecutive victory with a dominant 138-87 blowout win against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night in San Francisco. Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski each scored 25 points, while Yaxel Lendeborg contributed 23 points. The 51-point margin represents the largest win by any NBA team this season, Golden State's fourth-largest win in franchise history, and the Pelicans' largest loss in team history.
New Orleans played without rested starters Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III, trailing 72-43 by halftime. During the game, Curry passed DeMar DeRozan for 16th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list with 26,803 career points. The victory was somewhat dampened by an injury to Warriors guard Will Richard, who suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb.
