Pelicans and Warriors to Lock Horns in High-Stakes Encounter at Chase Center

As the New Orleans Pelicans prepare to face off against the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this upcoming NBA game. The Pelicans have shown a mix of results in their recent outings, with a notable performance against the Phoenix Suns where they scored 111 points but fell short by 13 points.

In another recent game against the Boston Celtics at home, the Pelicans managed 92 points but were outpaced by a margin of 12 points. Their fast-break efficiency stood out with a conversion rate of 64 percent for fast-break opportunities. However, shooting accuracy was an area that needed improvement as they shot only 40 percent from field goals.


The most promising display came when they hosted Milwaukee Bucks; here, New Orleans secured a victory with a seven-point lead and tallied up an impressive total of 107 points. Their defensive efforts shone through as they limited their opponents to just one point per possession while maintaining an offensive rating slightly above their defensive rating.
