Through three of the first four games during their five-game homestand, the Golden State Warriors have trailed by double-figures. However, each game has resulted in a victory for the Warriors. Things didn’t change on Friday night for the homestand’s finale.
Again, the Warriors fell behind by as much as 17 points to the New Orleans Pelicans in the first half on Friday at Chase Center. However, it wasn’t enough to hold off the comeback Warriors.
Similar to their last two games, the Warriors came out firing in the third quarter. Behind Klay Thompson, the Warriors outscored the Pelicans 30-19 in the third quarter to steal the lead going into the fourth quarter.
Their defense held strong down the stretch as the Warriors were able to hold on against the Pelicans to sweep their homestand and secure a five-game winning streak. With their 108-99 win over the Pelicans, the Warriors matched their season-high for consecutive wins with five straight.
Thompson led the way for the Warriors with 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field with four triples to go along with four assists in 34 minutes.
Jonathan Kuminga added 19 points off the bench on 9-of-13 from the floor with seven boards and four steals in 32 minutes. JaMychal Green recorded 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field with six rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes off the bench.
At 34-30, the Warriors are sitting at the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference playoff race.
Following their win at home on Friday night against the Pelicans, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in on Twitter. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media about the game on Friday night.

The Warriors have matched their longest winning streak of the season with five in a row at Chase Center following tonight's 108-99 defeat of New Orleans.
Golden State seems to be clicking at the right time and Stephen Curry could return to the fold Sunday in Los Angeles.

That's a 5-0 homestand for the Warriors without Steph Curry or Andrew Wiggins. Trailed by 17 to the Pelicans tonight. Won by nine. Fourth straight game they've been down double digits and won. They're 27-7 at home and 34-30 overall. Road trip: Lakers, Thunder, Grizzlies.

Now that was a championship mettle home stand
Seven more home games, likely with Steph Curry. Three of them are extra tough (Bucks, Suns, 76ers) but if they can get 5 of them, it would go a long way for seeding.

Steve Kerr says he thinks the Warriors have turned a corner during their 5-0 homestand. He’s seen an increased level of grit and poise, as well as much improved defense.
Now the challenge will be to take it on the road, where they’ve had a big drop off this season.

Being above .500 in games without Steph has saved the season
— Brian Witt (@Wittnessed) March 4, 2023
The Warriors are now 14-12 without Steph Curry this season, and 7-4 since he went down to a lower left leg injury
To be over .500 without Steph is HUGE for this team

A 5-0 homestand in which the Warriors allowed 101, 104, 105, 91 and 99 points against, all without Steph and Wiggins. Yes, this is good reason to believe.

Klay and Looney were phenomenal again. Kuminga is gonna be a star. DiVincenzo came up huge. Back end of a back to back. That is a tremendous win 👏

Warriors win 108-99, giving them their second perfect 5-0 homestand with Steph Curry sidelined this season
— Dalton Johnson (@DaltonJ_Johnson) March 4, 2023
Fun Fact: The Champs are just starting to play their best basketball.
Klay is dominating, DPOY Dray is smothering, JK is developing fast, Donte has hit his stride and a RESTED STEPH CURRY is coming back soon.
