Warriors Win Big in Denver Without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins

Golden State's depth was on full display Tuesday night.

Jordan Poole led the way with 26 points as the Warriors beat the Pelicans 124-106.

The Warriors were without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, but they didn't miss a beat. Jordan Poole led the way with 26 points, while Klay Thompson added 25 and Kevon Looney had 11 rebounds.

The Warriors have now won three straight games since losing to the Celtics on Christmas Day. They are now 23-24 on the season and in eighth place in the Western Conference.

The Pelicans were led by Brandon Ingram's 25 points. Zion Williamson added 18 points and 10 rebounds.

The Warriors led by just five points at halftime, but they pulled away in the third quarter. They outscored the Pelicans 32-18 in the third and led by 15 points heading into the fourth.

The Warriors never looked back in the fourth quarter. They extended their lead to 20 points and cruised to the victory.

Poole Leads the Way

Jordan Poole has been a revelation for the Warriors this season. He is averaging 18.5 points per game and has been a key contributor to the team's success.

Poole was particularly impressive against the Pelicans. He hit 10 of his 19 shots from the field and was 4 of 8 from three-point range.

Poole is a rising star in the NBA. He is a skilled scorer and playmaker who is still only 23 years old.

Thompson Returns to Form

Klay Thompson has been slowly rounding into form after missing two seasons with injuries.

Thompson scored 25 points against the Pelicans and hit 5 of his 11 three-point attempts.

Thompson is still not the same player he was before his injuries, but he is getting close.

Looney's Rebounding Prowess

Kevon Looney is one of the best rebounders in the NBA.

Looney had 11 rebounds against the Pelicans, including 5 offensive rebounds.

Looney is a key part of the Warriors' success. He is a physical presence who can rebound, defend, and set screens.

Warriors' Depth on Display

The Warriors' depth was on full display against the Pelicans.

Poole, Thompson, and Looney all had big games, but they were not the only ones to contribute.

Donte DiVincenzo added 14 points off the bench, while James Wiseman had 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The Warriors have a lot of talent on their roster, and it is starting to show.
