Warriors rally from big third-quarter deficit to beat Pelicans 147-140

After hitting yet another deep three-pointer Wednesday night, Stephen Curry shook his head and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "What are you going to do about it?" The Pelicans, like so many teams before, looked vexed. In an eight-minute span in that third quarter, Curry had just drilled eight threes — many several feet behind the arc — to help the Warriors get back within striking distance. Never mind that he was less than 24 hours removed from an energy-draining rout of the Nuggets in altitude. Thanks largely to another one of Curry's signature scoring binges, Golden State overcame shaky defense to escape Oracle Arena with a 147-140 win over New Orleans.
