It was a much-needed victory for the Warriors, who are in a three-way race with the LA Clippers (42-31) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (42-32) for the West no. 6 spot.
All three teams secured victories today against respective foes with only half-game separating the trio in the team standings.
On the other hand, Bruce Brown took the scoring cudgels for the Pelicans with 18 points in their sixth loss in the last eight games.
Golden State continue their road trip in San Antonio to battle the Spurs (31-41) while New Orleans crosses paths with the Charlotte Hornets next (18-54).
