The Golden State Warriors defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 138–87 at Chase Center on November 9, extending their winning streak to eight games. The Pelicans’ official game page confirms the final score, replacing the pregame outlook for the NBA regular-season matchup.
Golden State improved to 8–3 and completed its six-game home stand unbeaten. New Orleans fell to 4–7 after playing without Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III. The Warriors built a lead of more than 30 points in the first half and reached a 50-point advantage early in the fourth quarter, according to the Pelicans’ postgame report.
Golden State took control early and sustained its scoring across the first three quarters, producing at least 35 points in each. The Pelicans’ official postgame wrap describes the Warriors creating baskets through ball movement and cuts while also converting from three-point range. New Orleans could not close the gap after falling behind by more than 30 before halftime.
The result resolved the central pregame question: whether a depleted Pelicans team could slow a Golden State side that had won seven straight. The Warriors added another victory to that run and finished the home stand with six wins in six games. The 51-point margin is the difference between the final totals, not a separate statistic or a projection.
For New Orleans, Derik Queen scored 16 points. The Pelicans’ game page also lists Herb Jones with six rebounds and Jeremiah Fears with eight assists among the team’s game leaders. Those individual contributions came in a game where the visitors scored 87 points against Golden State’s 138.
The largest clear numerical gap came from beyond the arc. Golden State’s 21 made threes produced 63 points, while New Orleans’ eight produced 24. That is a 39-point difference from three-pointers alone, although it does not account for the rest of each team’s scoring. The Warriors made 47.7% of their three-point attempts, compared with 28.6% for the Pelicans.
Golden State also won the rebounding count 50–31, according to New Orleans’ postgame report. Jones and Karlo Matković each collected six rebounds for the Pelicans. The home team’s shooting and rebounding advantages help explain the size of the margin, though the box-score figures alone do not establish why every possession unfolded as it did.
The Pelicans reported finishing at 36% from the field overall. Their scoring difficulty coincided with a Warriors attack that reached 138 points, leaving little opportunity for a comeback after the early deficit.

No. Williamson and Murphy were not in uniform, the Pelicans confirmed in their postgame report. The team identified rest as the reason for Williamson’s absence and a knee issue for Murphy. Their absence removed two prominent scoring options from New Orleans’ lineup, but the final score should not be attributed to those absences alone.
The pregame NBA injury report had also listed Yves Missi out with a left-knee contusion or bone bruise. Those reports describe availability for this game; they do not establish when any player will return. For future games, readers should check a new official injury report rather than assume the November 9 designations still apply.
The game was scheduled for Monday, November 9, at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time in San Francisco (PST, UTC−08:00), at Chase Center. That was 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) on November 9 and 03:00 UTC on November 10. NBA TV was listed as the national broadcaster; regional availability could vary by provider.

The win put Golden State at 8–3 after an 0–3 start. Its pregame preview had identified the matchup as the finale of a home stand on which the Warriors had already won five games. The result completed that stretch without a loss, though an early-season streak does not guarantee the same results ahead.
New Orleans’ postgame report says the Pelicans return home to face Brooklyn on November 11 and host Golden State again on November 16. Availability and lineups for those games remain subject to future team and league updates. The rematch will provide another meeting between these teams, but the 51-point result does not determine its outcome.
