SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors faced another challenging night, succumbing to a 141-105 defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. This loss adds to the Warriors’ recent struggles, with coach Steve Kerr acknowledging the team’s fragile confidence and lack of fighting spirit.

The Pelicans, led by Jonas Valanciunas with 21 points and nine rebounds, quickly established a significant lead, contributing to one of the worst losses during Kerr’s tenure with the Warriors. Zion Williamson also made a notable impact with 19 points, seven assists, and five rebounds, despite starting the day questionable due to injury.

Stephen Curry, usually a consistent performer for Golden State, could only manage 15 points and six assists. This performance followed a previous game where he shot just 2 for 14. Klay Thompson echoed the team’s deflated mood, emphasizing the disappointment of consecutive blowout losses at home.

Golden State’s challenges were evident from the start, as they allowed a season-high 46 points in the first quarter and trailed by 25 points midway through the second. Despite attempts to rally, the Pelicans consistently countered every threat.

The Warriors’ struggles were palpable, with fans expressing their frustration by booing and leaving the arena early. Center Kevon Looney acknowledged the team’s poor performance, stating that they deserved the negative reaction.

With Draymond Green’s return from a 12-game league suspension eagerly anticipated, the Warriors hope for a much-needed boost. Kerr expressed hope for Green’s participation in the upcoming road trip, aiming to rally the troops and regain momentum.

Moses Moody came off the bench to score 21 points for Golden State, but his night was cut short due to a calf strain. The team’s veteran guard, Chris Paul, is also sidelined following surgery for a finger fracture, adding to the Warriors’ challenges.

Facing a period of introspection and recovery, Curry stressed the need to acknowledge their current situation and maintain belief in their ability to bounce back in the next game.

Looking ahead, the Pelicans will face Denver on Friday night, while the Warriors embark on a four-game trip, starting with Chicago.
