The Splash Brothers are hard to stop. If it's not one, it's the other ... and, unfortunately for the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, it was both.
Klay Thompson poured in 14 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, and Stephen Curry chipped in with 22 points of his own to lift the Golden State Warriors to a 97-87 Game 2 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Warriors now have a 2-0 series lead.
Jimmy Butler had 31 points and nine rebounds in the earlier game to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 91-82 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, and they too have a 2-0 series lead.
