SAN FRANCISCO — – Stephen Curry<\/a> scored 25 points in 20-plus minutes, Yaxel Lendeborg<\/a> had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and the Golden State Warriors<\/a> won their eighth straight game by running away from the undermanned New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> early for a 138-87 victory Monday night.<\/p>\n

Brandin Podziemski<\/a> added 25 points while Curry wound up 6 for 10 with four 3-pointers coming off a 41-point performance in Saturday’s 126-119 overtime win against Orlando. He passed DeMar DeRozan<\/a> (26,800) for 16th place on the NBA’s career scoring list with 26,803.<\/p>\n

Golden State had three players with at least 20 points for the second time this season and the Warriors finished with 30 or more assists – 37 – for the third straight game and fifth in the last six. They are 6-0 when doing so.<\/p>\n

Injured guard Jimmy Butler<\/a> dressed up like a member of the coaching staff and held a clipboard, writing “PASS TO STEPH” on it.<\/p>\n

Golden State guard Brandon Williams<\/a> injured his left hamstring and was scheduled for an MRI exam, according to coach Steve Kerr.<\/p>\n

Derik Queen<\/a> scored 16 points off the bench and Dejounte Murray<\/a> added 12 points for the Pelicans, who were out of the game almost from the tipoff and trailed 72-43 at halftime on the way to losing a third straight after a four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

Golden State led 35-20 after one quarter as New Orleans shot just 7 of 23 and missed 10 of 12 3-point tries. The Warriors built a 23-point lead early in the second as Podziemski scored four quick points and rolled from there.<\/p>\n

Charles Bassey<\/a> contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench and De’Anthony Melton<\/a> scored 16 with four 3s.<\/p>\n

Lendeborg and Pelicans guard Jordan Poole<\/a>, both former Michigan stars, traded jerseys afterward.<\/p>\n

New Orleans rested Zion Williamson<\/a> a night after a 139-123 road loss to the Clippers and Trey Murphy III<\/a> also sat out to manage his troublesome knees after he scored 26 in Los Angeles on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Warriors lost second-year guard Will Richard<\/a> to a torn ligament in his left thumb and the team said he would weigh his options over the next week on whether to have surgery or wear a splint while playing.<\/p>\n

Pelicans: Host Brooklyn on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
