New Orleans Pelicans didn't look like a team that had anything to play for on Friday night. But instead, they played like a team fighting for a playoff position against a team that really was. Just the same, they fell to the Golden State Warriors 111-95 at the Smoothie King Center.

New Orleans Pelicans call timeout looking to make changes in the team, although there are a few seconds left to the end of the game. Everything seems doomed.                       

Warriors are already close to 100 points and already have a 10-point lead in a game where despite missing a few minutes they are close to sealing the victory with a great offensive reaction. 

The Warriors continue to grow in the last moments of the game, a very positive game where they are showing the good work that was done prior to this game. They are focused to defend and counter attack.

Pelicans starts with more intensity looking for points quickly.

New Orleans Pelicans is looking for the best way to close this last quarter with points to get closer on the scoreboard.                              

Another three-point shot that moves the Warriors away from the scoreboard. Steph Curry scored it, now there are 21 points for the shooting guard and the visitor's score goes away from the scoreboard. Great performance.

Very attractive and interesting game, both teams have very well established game actions and the creation of the plays is determined by the movements of all the players. However, there are moments in which individuals stand out.

The Pelicans have been eliminated from playoff contention in the Western Conference, along with teams like the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. The 2024-2025 season has been a complicated one for the New Orleans Pelicans, with multiple challenges due to injuries and roster changes. The team will look to retool and strengthen its roster heading into next season. On March 23, it was announced that Zion would miss the game against the Detroit Pistons due to a lower back contusion. This season, he has appeared in only 30 games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

Golden State Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler on February 5, 2025, in a trade that sent Andrew Wiggins and other assets to the Miami Heat. Since his arrival, Butler has been instrumental, contributing to a 16-3 record and significantly improving the team's defense. His presence has also strengthened the team's performance during Stephen Curry's resting minutes, a challenge the Warriors have faced for a decade. On March 22, the Warriors signed forward Kevin Knox for the remainder of the season after evaluating him on two 10-day contracts. Knox, 25, has provided depth to the team, excelling in a game against the Charlotte Hornets with 12 points and 5 rebounds in 15 minutes. 

The 2023-24 NBA season was the seventy-eighth edition of this league. It began on October 24, 2023 and ended on April 14, 2024. During the regular season, teams competed to qualify for the Playoffs, which began on April 20, 2024. Prior to that, the Play-In Tournament was played, which defined the final Playoff berths.
Among the season's statistical leaders, Luka Dončić stood out as the top scorer, while Tyrese Haliburton led in assists and Stephen Curry was the top three-point scorer.

The season was a key period for teams to prepare for the Playoffs, where the best teams fought for the championship.

The team with the better record gets the advantage of playing more home games during the playoffs, which increases the odds of winning crucial series.
Finishing first gives players confidence and momentum heading into the most important phase of the championship.

Statistics show that teams that finish first in the regular season have a better chance of winning the NBA ring.
