The Golden State Warriors have been making a habit of coming from behind in their recent stretch of five straight victories, the most recent being against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night at Chase Center. Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga topped the scoring with 19 points and a plus-13 rating, while coach Steve Kerr noted the push came as a result of the team's renewed commitment to its winning formula.

Kevon Looney echoed Kerr's sentiment, having seen the team do a better job of cutting down on fouls and leading with defense. "We're taking a step in the right direction," Looney said. Notable contributions from the bench included Kuminga, JaMychal Green, and Jordan Poole, who sealed the game with a breakaway dunk.

The success of the Warriors is all the more impressive with the absence of All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox due to a hamstring injury.
