Warriors Stephen Curry Fires 42-Point Victory Over Pelicans; Kristaps Porziņģis Shines in Celtics Triumph Over Wizards
Curry helps Golden State Warriors to defeat injury-hampered Pelicans in their first loss of the season; Kristaps Porziņģis impresses in the Celtics' commanding win over the Wizards, capitalizing on his size advantage.
- Stephen Curry delivers a stunning performance in the Golden State Warriors' 130-102 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring 42 points. This results in the Pelicans' first defeat of the season.
- The absence of key Pelicans' players due to injuries, including Brandon Ingram who suffered right knee soreness just before the game, contributed to the team's underperformance.
- Pelicans' coach, Willie Green, demands more tenacity from the team in future games and acknowledges that they must learn from their 28-point loss to the Warriors.
- On the other hand, Kristaps Porziņģis impresses in the Boston Celtics' win over the Washington Wizards, scoring 15 points, collecting six rebounds, giving three assists and blocking a shot. His incorporation into the Celtics' starting five appears seamless.
- Despite Daniel Gafford from the Wizards being out due to a sprained ankle, and the tactics used by their coach leading to smaller lineups, Porziņģis successfully capitalizes on his size advantage, significantly contributing to the Celtics' victory.
