Stephen Curry's Return Boosts Warriors in Playoff Push with Win Over Pelicans

Curry scored 23 points in his comeback from injury as Golden State defeated New Orleans 111-95, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Stephen Curry returned from a two-game absence due to a pelvic bruise, scoring 23 points in the Warriors' victory over the Pelicans.
Golden State improved to a 41-31 record, maintaining their No. 7 position in the Western Conference as they aim for a top-six seed to avoid the play-in tournament.
The Warriors struggled early with shooting, making only one of their first 16 three-point attempts, but finished stronger to secure the win.
The injury-depleted Pelicans, already eliminated from playoff contention, played without four starters, including Zion Williamson, but delivered a competitive effort with reserve players.
Golden State is now 1-2 on a critical six-game road trip as they continue their fight for improved playoff positioning.
