Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 16, 2025

Moses Moody's 32-point outburst powered Golden State past New Orleans 124–106, a matchup that unfolded as a tale of offensive rhythm and fourth-quarter explosion. The Warriors entered riding modest offensive form—110.5 points per game over their last 10—while the Pelicans were struggling to keep pace defensively, allowing 120.8 per contest. This game saw those trends collide in real time: New Orleans came out hot in the first quarter with 28 points, but Golden State's 44-point opening salvo set the tone for a lopsided 72-combined first quarter that foreshadowed the final margin.

The second half became the decisive stretch. After a sluggish second quarter (38 combined points), the game tightened in the third (46 combined), but the fourth quarter ignited with 74 combined points as both benches emptied and the score ballooned. Moody led the charge for Golden State alongside Brandin Podziemski (19 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast) and Jimmy Butler III (18 pts, 3 reb, 10 ast). For New Orleans, Trey Murphy III collected 20 points and 8 rebounds while Jose Alvarado and Jeremiah Fears added 18 and 17 points respectively, but their offensive depth couldn't overcome the Warriors' firepower.

The combined 230 points fell just short of the market total and landed within the second-half scoring pattern—the 120 second-half points reflected late-game pace and garbage time over defensive intensity.
