Golden State Warriors: Top 3 plays from comeback vs. Pelicans

2. Defense leads to offense

Stephen Curry is still one of the top point guards in the league, averaging 26.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.3 minutes. He’s shooting 46.5 percent from the field, 37.0 percent from behind the arc and 94.4 percent from the free throw line.

While he hasn’t been the deadly sharpshooter we all know he’s capable of being, he still had a few long range shots worth highlighting, including this particular shot from Saturday night.

And let’s give credit to whom credit is due: Pachulia has been awesome the past couple games, averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 steals in 19.5 minutes. He’s also shot 58.3 percent from the field and 77.7 percent from the free throw line.

Per 36 minutes, that means Pachulia is averaging roughly 19.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 4.6 steals. He’s really stepped up in Durant’s absence, earning his spot alongside Draymond on Saturday as the Boogie stopper.
