According to Fadeaway World, "I didn't feel like we played that well, but we made a million 3s, so the ball was going in but I don't think we were sharp. There were a lot of possessions where we weren't locked in or our passing wasn't good. They were disjointed but the ball kept going in. Draymond Green going 5/5 in a half, you don't see that often. Everybody got going and to shoot 63% from three, that's crazy."

In that game against Los Angeles Lakers Golden State Warriors scored 26 three-pointers out of 41 attempts as their converting was 63.4%. This is statistically the best 3-point shooting game in NBA history, with the Lakers also suffering from the most threes given up in a single game. Los Angeles Lakers were without Jarred Vanderbilt and Anthony Davis as the Golden State Warriors were taking advantage. 

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers were missing their second-leading scorer although the Golden State Warriors gave 120 points Kerr is correct to criticise the squad on what they did not do well rather than celebrate their shooting performance.

New Orleans Pelicans are still in race for a playoffs spot

For Golden State Warriors Draymond Green scored 15 points and 10 assists, Klay Thompson scored 27 points, and Stephen Curry scored 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds but was overshadowed by Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James who scored 33 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds.

Golden State Warriors will next face New Orleans Pelicans, Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz in their last three games. While New Orleans Pelicans are still in race for the sixth position which will take them into the playoff spot. Both Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are in play-in position from the Western Conference.
