SAN FRANCISCO, November 10, 2026 — The Golden State Warriors continued their dramatic turnaround with a 138-87 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, extending their winning streak to eight games after opening the NBA season with three consecutive defeats.
Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 25 points each. Yaxel Lendeborg added 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists, while Golden State produced another high-volume passing performance with 37 assists.
The Warriors seized control early, scoring 35 points in the opening quarter and taking a 72-43 lead into halftime. They added another 40 points in the third period, building a margin that reached 51 before the final buzzer.
Curry reached another career milestone during the game, moving past DeMar DeRozan into 16th place on the NBA’s all-time regular-season scoring list. He scored his 25 points in a little more than 20 minutes, continuing a strong stretch after his 41-point performance against Orlando on Saturday.
New Orleans was short-handed, with Zion Williamson rested and Trey Murphy III unavailable as the team managed his knee issues. Derik Queen led the Pelicans with 16 points, but the visitors struggled to match Golden State’s shooting and ball movement.
The Warriors’ eight-game run has transformed their early-season outlook and lifted them to 8-3. Their next challenge will be to maintain the defensive intensity and offensive balance that have powered the streak, particularly as injuries continue to affect their rotation.
