The Golden State Warriors (1-1) won for the first time this season after losing their opener to the Houston Rockets. As soon as Klay Thompson of the Warriors pulled up his seventh 3-pointer of the night, The Pelicans (0-2) fans stopped their chanting and started searching for the nearest exit. In an interview with the CBS Sports, Thompson said he just felt he was in the zone. He knew that he if went to the floor and shoot some more jumpers, he would probably make some more. Kevin Durant also recorded a career-high seven blocks for the warriors.

The Warriors easily erased a 15-point first-half deficit. Despite the loss, Cousins believed they took another huge step during the game. He added he was proud the way they battled during the game and that they are looking forward to some more challenges. The first quarter ended with the Pelicans leading the game (26-39). However, the warriors quickly filled up the gap by leading the second until the fourth quarter of the game scoring 35-25, 37-26 and 30-30. The Golden State Warriors wrapped up the game with an 8 point advantage (128-120).
