The biggest performance of the day, however, came from Warriors stud Brandon Podziemski, who went off for 27 points (just two off his career high) on 9-of-14 shooting, to go along with six rebounds, five assists and a steal in just 27 minutes of play.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points in his return from a two-game absence and the Golden State Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 111-95

Curry is wearing extra padding for tailbone protection and said he can still feel the soreness, but he can play.
