for three quarters at oracle this afternoon, it seemed like the warriors weren't shy of the pressure build up during the season. golden state went 3-1 against the new orleans pelicans in the regular season. new orleans star anthony davis making his play-off debut. right out of the chute in this game draymond green to barnes in the corner for three. and the 10-point lead. new orleans was held to just 13 points in the first.
6:53 pm
the defense continued into the second. the steal leads to an incredible spinning shot for steph curry high off the glass plus give anthony davis the foul. 34 points for curry in the game. curry only made four threes but he attacked the rim like an mvp. green slipped the pass to curry who flips it up and in. 25 point lead at the end of the third. new orleans had a run in them. davis abuses green if the paint ---- in the paint with the mismatch. davis cuts it to six and he scores 20 of his 35 points in the fourth. and under 30 seconds to go in the game, eric gordon rattles one in to cut the lead to 5. new orleans outscored the warriors by 11 in the 4th and part of the reason why? the warriors with some bad free throw shooting down the stretch. curry can't extend the lead but barnes comes up with the offensive board. that would ice the game and the warriors win 106-99. but the pelicans take the momentum into game 2.
6:54 pm
>> when teams get down a lot it's pretty much we either give up or have nothing to lose so it's just --you know --feel more relaxed shooting. there's not as much pressure even before you know it you back in it. >> i give it a big c-minus --i mean a b-minus, c-plus. you know, um, because there's a lot of things we can do better. >> i think the whole team is nervous. this is our first time as a units in the play-offs. you know, our pace was good. we were moving fast. >> just find a way to get a win. that's the key as you go through play-offs no matter how pretty it is or ugly it is, a win is a win. >> ball just seemed to drop out of the sky right through the hoop. one of those plays that very few people can make but steph seems to do it pretty often. >> i don't know how that went
6:55 pm
in. that was an amazing shot. really put the spin on the ball and finished on the rim. clearly amazing. >> so here's an upcoming look for this series. game 2 on monday at oracle. game 3 and 4 in new orleans on thursday and saturday. game 5 if necessary would be back in oakland tuesday the 28th. the wizards veteran paul pierce said the raptors didn't have it to make you feel worried. he backed it up with a big game in toronto. nine point lead, the raptors down by 3 with under 30 seconds to go. vazquez hits from three-point land to send the game to overtime. neither team shot over 40%. and guess who got the big shot in overtime. pierce put his money where his mouth is.three-point washington lead. pierce scores a game-high 20 and the wizard won game one. to baseball the giants placed jake peavy on the disabled list with a back strain. he allowed 8 runs in two starts this season.
6:56 pm
catcher andrew suseck will replace him on the roster. the giants in an eight game losing streak had a chance tonight to remember better times though. they got their championship rings before the game against the diamondbacks once again they were designed by tiffany, have three diamonds on top and five on the bottom to represent the three titles in five seasons. in trouble against the a's two runs already for oakland in the fourth. josh redick crashes a three-run blast. his first of the season. last night there was a hard slide. so this was bound to happen. tonight he paid for it with a 99-mile-per-hour fastball to the arm. ventura was immediately tossed. benches cleared and the final in this game was 5-0. an interesting game.
6:57 pm
>> ouch. >> it was bound to hatchet it was not a surprise. lowery took the pitch and he just went on with the game. but both of the benches came out and that's when all of the drama escalated. but he knew it was coming. >> is this a good thing that it ended so tight towards the end? gets them more motivated? >> it is a good thing because it will just -- the way they have been playing in the last few weeks, too. they want to kind of get something going and get into a better rhythm. >> okay. you hear
