New Orleans Pelicans vs. Golden State Warriors live stream

He finished the night 14 for 26 with seven assists and six rebounds.

A few minutes into the game, Curry converted an easy lay-up after a handsome Andrew Bogut pass. He was on the Warriors' bench last season and Kerr has a reputation of letting his assistants actually coach, so it's not like this would be the first time the team took directions from him. He was on hand at Oracle Arena for Tuesday night's championship banner raising and ring ceremony as part of pregame festivities and planned to watch the game from the locker room.

For the New Orleans Pelicans, Anthony Davis scored 18 points, with 10 coming from free throws after going 4 of 20 from the floor in the defeat.

Expect to see this game come down to the wire, but our bet is on the Warriors pulling out a win to get their 2015-16 season started.

The Warriors will have two days off before heading to the Lone Star State to face the Houston Rockets in the first game of a back-to-back that will next pit them in a rematch against the Pelicans. They did it with great three-point shooting - they were 12-of-29 from deep - and a dominant big man - Andre Drummond had 18 points and 19 rebounds.

He left the game in the third quarter and didn't return. He became the first reigning Most Valuable Player to score 40-plus points in the opener since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 41 in 1972. Starters Kevin Love and went a combined (9-27) from the field, and despite Williams' decent game this team needs Kyrie Irving back as soon as possible so that can start building on chemistry that they are short right now.

"I am feeling better, so that's the good news", Kerr said.

"It's good to be back around the team quite a bit", Kerr said. But he finished with 12 points as he made each of his six shot attempts. A team that's not the popular pick to win the National Basketball Association championship, and too often disrespected for their remarkable journey last season, from finishing way ahead of he rest in the regular season and to losing just five times over the course of the playoffs, ending with a trophy being lifted. Last season MVP Finals Andre Iguodala scored only 2 points in 23 minutes. Of the top nine players in the Golden State' rotation missed a combined total of 56 games.

Obviously the Pelicans will only go as far as their superstar can take them, but he can't do it alone; especially against the Warriors (The King knows how that turns out).
