Red hot Warriors smoke Pelicans by 51 to win eighth in a row

SAN FRANCISCO – With 7:06 left on the clock in the second quarter of a game that was already well on its way to being the Warriors’ eighth consecutive victory , the Golden State’s old guys had a chance to show they still had some wheels. Thirty-six year-old Draymond Green stripped a Pelican and sprinted downcourt with the ball. Flanking him to the right was Al Horford, in his fourth decade of life, who proceeded to catch the pass at full speed and make the layup. kAm%96 J@F?86C 2?5 DFAA@D65=J DACJ6C !6=:42? 5676?D6n {288:?8 369:?5 2D 2 5:D:?E6C6DE65 A24<[ ;@88:?8 :? 2 H2J E92E :?5:42E65 E96 H@6368@?6 7C2?49:D6 H2D ;FDE C625J E@ 86E E96 D@@?
