‘It Stings a Lot’: Dejected Klay Thompson Reacts to Warriors’ Tenth Seed Standing After Pelicans Loss
The intense showdown between the Warriors and Pelicans came as an upset for the former as it turned their playoffs dream vague. A couple of worthy performance from the Pelicans outperformed Curry-Klay.
The Golden State Warriors suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans in a highly anticipated matchup. Despite a commendable effort from star players Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who delivered a remarkable 33 and 19 point performance the Warriors couldn't secure the win.
The loss did not come easy to the Warriors as the playoffs are much more complicated than a day before. Like all the other players, Thompson found himself dejected after the 109-114 loss to the Pelicans. During the media interaction post game, when asked about the current scenario after the defeat, he said, “It stings a lot.”
However, the Warriors could have secured a better standing if they had managed to avoid the crucial defeat. Had they performed slightly better, the eighth seed would still have been a reality.
Additionally, one cannot overlook the outstanding performance from the Pelicans, led by CJ McCollum's exceptional 28-point game. They dominated the long-range shooting, knocking down a total of 20 three-pointers, leaving the Warriors to regroup for the playoffs.
The Pelicans' second-quarter surge, fueled by McCollum's stellar shooting and contributions from teammates Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones, proved to be the decisive factor in building a significant lead that the Warriors couldn't overcome. 
It was an intense and electrifying game, highlighting the Pelicans' strength from beyond the arc and underscoring the Warriors' need to regroup and refocus for the upcoming playoffs.
Even with the support of key players like Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors couldn't overcome the Pelicans' shooting prowess, ultimately resulting in a significant win for the Pelicans and a moment of reflection for the Warriors as they recalibrate their strategies for the postseason.
