Jimmy Butler added 18 points and 10 assists, while Brandin Podziemski scored 19, Al Horford contributed 11 points, and Draymond Green grabbed 10 rebounds in a performance that also included a brief altercation with a fan along the baseline.
Trey Murphy III led New Orleans with 20 points, Jose Alvarado added 18, and Jeremiah Fears scored 17. The Warriors shot 42.9% from 3-point range (24 of 56), while the Pelicans managed just 27.6% (8 of 29) from deep. Stephen Curry, coming off back-to-back 40-plus point games, was limited to nine points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Golden State jumped out early, opening a 17-point lead in the first quarter, fueled by Moody’s seven 3-pointers, setting his single-game career high from deep. The Pelicans closed the second quarter with a 10-0 run to cut the deficit to 53-49 on Herb Jones’ free throws, but the Warriors answered with eight straight points, including a steal and breakaway dunk from Butler, to take a 61-49 lead into halftime.
Despite New Orleans trimming the lead at times, the Warriors pulled away in the second half, holding a lead of up to 25 points en route to the comfortable victory.
