Golden State Warriors extend win streak to eight games

The Golden State Warriors have surged in the NBA standings, securing eight consecutive victories after a difficult start to the 2026 season. Following a 0-3 opening record, the team, coached by Steve Kerr, reached an 8-3 standing after dominating the New Orleans Pelicans 138-87 on November 10. This impressive run included a hard-fought 126-119 overtime win against the Orlando Magic on November 8, where Steph Curry recorded 41 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Steph Curry continues to achieve personal milestones, notably surpassing LeBron James for the most games with at least 40 points after the age of 35. During the win against the Magic, he became the first player to reach 16 such games in his career. In the subsequent rout of the Pelicans, Curry and teammate Brandin Podziemski each scored 25 points, while rookie Yaxel Lendeborg contributed 23 points. The Warriors' performance against New Orleans was particularly efficient, with the team shooting 21-of-44 from beyond the arc. The Pelicans fell to a 4-7 record following this lopsided defeat, which served as the conclusion to the league's schedule for that day.
