Golden State Warriors vs Orleans Pelicans Full Game Highlights 1st Qtr| Nov 16| 2025 NBA Highlights

much as they struggle offensively, they’re one of the most they drive the most in the league as far as like top 10. They’re ninth. And then pick and roll defense is going to be key. You got to make sure you’re keeping guys in front of you. Jeremiah Fears, the rookie, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Sadique Bay, and the other rookie, Derek Queen. And Herb Jones opens the scoring for New Orleans. I told you drives, fake handoff there. You don’t want to bite on those. This is a New Orleans team made a coaching change with James Barago taking over for Willie Green, but you can score on them. They’ve allowed 120 points nine of their 12 games. Raymond down the lane and Queen denying him though. Queen is interesting. See got that shot block there as Murray misses and Sadique Bay guiding it home. Murphy. Trey Murphy has been averaging 30 a game the last four shooting better than 50%. Jimmy Butler just took advantage of a rookie right there. So Fears is 63. And if he’s going to guard as he almost throws that one away. Steph got the deflection. If he’s going to guard Jimmy Butler, you want to try to expose him. There’s James Burggo. James Burggo an assistant in San Antonio, head coach in Orlando and Charlotte. And then a third opportunity here in New Orleans. They’re just trying to find some continuity with bodies. so many injuries, it’s hard to be consistent. The one thing the Pelicans do is defend the three, but you can get all you can eat inside the lane. That dangerous pass and a rare turnover from Jimmy Butler. But the Warriors hustling back. Murphy with the show and go, flipping it up and out, but he’ll go to the line. So, I I told you about their driving. and ninth in the league in drives per game, but then they’re first in the league in free throw attempts off of those drives. So, defending without falling, they’re relying on him more, especially with guys out. Zion Williamson’s going to be out. Jordan Pull’s going to be out. He knows he’s got to be extra aggressive, so you can start giving it out. There you go. Yeah, Murphy 24 a game in November. If you look at his October is much different, but he’s upped his percentages and his scoring. Rudy and Draymond with Jimmy Stepp and Will Richards staying with that same starting lineup. Steve went with both Spurs games. Shot clock down to four. Three men on Curry. I think we said you could get inside. Draymond missed the layup. Tipping a third time a fourth time. Butler a fifth time and Moody the open three. At first you don’t succeed, try try again. Warriors are getting back to this offensive rebounding thing. Be relentless on the glass. They’re not going to box you out. That’s one of the issues they had even last year. Defensive rebounding. They’ve struggled this year with that too. Fears putting it up and out. Draymond and Moody tipping it to Will Richard. Will Richard looks pretty comfortable as a starter is the 56 pick in the draft. Steph Curry missing that three. Richard kept it alive from that corner. Crash. Moody. Another reload. And Moody’s got a couple threes. That was part of their identity last season. One of the reasons teams struggled to guard him. It wasn’t because they were knocking down a ton of threes. As Moody reaches, look at score out of pick and roll decision maker out of there. And he’s like 35% in three-point range right now. He’s improved because in college at Oklahoma, he was in the 20s. So, he’s gotten much better with his shooting, but he still wants to drive. He’s the seventh pick overall. And I think we said you could score inside on the Pelicans. Jimmy Butler with the bucket and the body and an opport. But in this game, Jimmy Butler getting inside. We talked about how you can get in there anytime you want. They’re 30th in blocks. They struggle there. You can score in the paint. And I think the Warriors, multiple Warriors attacking WBY and finishing against him, having the Giant killers, you glean confidence from that. So, you can finish against anyone. Sadique Bay missing that. Remember Sadi Bay in the Detroit uniform hit a gamewinner at Chase Center. He bends Detroit and Atlanta. Moses Moody had made his first two threes missed there, but it’s a foul on the rebound on New Orleans. Hey, Steph is saying, “Everybody else is crashing the glass. Let me get in on this act. I can do it, too.” Back court that he steals. He sneaks up behind you. It’s his patented move. And he just Your job to make everyone aware aware of that is Steph Curry foul shooting a three. He just hides now. Steph. Yeah. But it’s not just that where he’s getting calls. He’s getting inside, jump into people. And he was doing that against Wimby. Hit the giant killer a few times. He hit the teardrop where afterwards he was kind of making fun of him, going for a shot in the air and everybody’s taking a swipe at it and missing. He’s so crafty in there. But the classic is Luca 11 free throws a game. Shay 11 free throw. My favorite thing from last game among many favorites is the step back against WBY. Unbelievable given gold medal game flashbacks. So, Jose Alvarado in along with Herb Jones, Sadi Bay. Murphy’s been averaging 30 a game the last four and better than 50% shooting and 90% on free throws. So, he’s the one that you have to pay attention to. Shot clock at two and Alvarado drops in a three. He’s an energy guy. Energizer buddy when he comes into the game brings a lot of intensity. So, they’re looking to kind of play off of that. undrafted out of Georgia Tech, four-year college player. The Warriors throw that one away and Murphy unable to finish. Good job, Moses Moody going straight up to sprint back and the Warriors commit fewer turnovers than the opponent. They’re seven and0. They’re undefeated as Will Richard pulled the string short on that. So, taking care of the ball, it’s everything for this Warrior team. Now Trey Murphy and Herb Jones are excellent wing defenders. So the on ball defense, but then just being mindful of your passing inside. Jimmy in Moses out and Moses third three. It’s a Steph cross pass with Jimmy there. That opened up the lane for him. Now the help has to come and Moses Money is ready to shoot. Man, he missed a couple games to begin the year. He had the thumb surgery in the offseason, but Moses is shooting and Alvarado missing that three. And Curry pushing ahead to Richard. Let Steph play off the ball a How hot is Moses? That hot. The fourth three for Moses. Came in at 42% and he’s bombing away at four or five. So one that’s one of the issues with the New Orleans defense as well. They struggle to get back at times before the defense is set. Steph kind of set that screen. He was in the vicinity knowing where to close out to Moses. Moses knocked it away. Murphy reathers. Shot clock at five. Murphy still looking to drive like Kenna talked about and it’s going to be a loose ball foul on the Pelicans. Draymond is leading by Gary Payton has kind of moved up in the rotation in terms of availability. GP2 had the monster two threes on Friday night. Had the great rebounds on Wednesday night. Raymond and Steph miscommunication. Pelicans running it back and the Warriors say no. Will Richard coming out of the pack. Defending when you turn it over. Sprint back. Make up for the mistake. Moody again. He’s got five. Holy Moses. Five in half a quarter. He’s got the bench hyped. Coach Kerr is smiling. This is what they want to see. Bounceback game for him, too. 15 points for Moses Moody of the Warriors 23 picked up the dribble. Sadique Bay. Shot clock at two. He’ll launch the three and drop it right through. He’s 40% for Cleveland already. He’s 68 215, but he’s always had a nice outside touch. He’s had a nice start to the season. Draymond, the last two turnovers he had were trying to get it to Steph. Draymond three. Draymond’s defense incredible in San Antonio. His shooting, he has scuffled the last couple games, no doubt. And then fouling Alvarado on the drive. And the turnover is to Steph. You don’t want to force it to Steph, but you understand it. If you’re going to turn over,
