NEW DELHI: It sounds like CJ McCollum was on fire from beyond the arc, sinking eight 3-pointers to lead the New Orleans Pelicans to a crucial victory over the Golden State Warriors. The win puts the Pelicans in a strong position for the sixth spot in the Western Conference, while the Warriors now face a tougher road to secure a playoff spot.The Pelicans' second-quarter surge, fueled by McCollum's shooting and contributions from Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones, proved decisive in building a...
Let’s go back to the summer of 2019, a more innocent time in our nation’s history. None of us knew what a KN95 mask was. White collar workers actually traveled for business rather than spending all day having to mute a Zoom mic anytime they had to fart. Donald Trump was a gentle, widely beloved president rather than the half-assed orchestrator of a failed revolution. And the Golden State Warriors were still really good. I was in Oakland that June, hanging around the Lake Chalet to profile...
The Golden State Warriors have personified excellence over the last decade. Mixing a revolutionary brand of basketball with star players, the Warriors have won four NBA championships since 2015 and established themselves at the top of the league’s food chain. However, that was then and this is now.

Yet the fact that he was in the game at all to put up 16 points,...
Missing the playoffs is not where old and expensive Golden State expected to be two years after a rousing NBA title run. The front office will fight that slow drift to the end.
The Warriors' best shot of getting out of the play-in could be an improved defense led by Draymond Green and rookie center Trayce Jackson-Davis.
The Golden State Warriors notched a huge victory on Thursday night, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 100-92 to move into a three-way tie with the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference standings. Because of the tiebreakers, the Warriors moved past the Lakers and into the ninth seed, but still need to gain a game on Sacramento to climb into the eighth seed. The Warriors, who were playing without Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, didn’t exactly earn style points for...
