For three quarters Sunday, the injury-riddled Golden State Warriors stayed within reach of the New Orleans Pelicans, but they couldn't keep pace in the fourth quarter and suffered their seventh straight loss, 108-100.
Eric Paschall scored 30 points for injury-depleted Golden State, which has lost seven straight. Ky Bowman scored 19 points and Glenn Robinson III added 14.
J.J. Redick scored 26 points, hitting his sixth 3-pointer of the game from the left corner with 1:09 left, for the Pelicans.
Jrue Holiday had 22 points for the Pelicans despite a difficult night shooting the ball and also had nine assists and eight rebounds. Jaxson Hayes had 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in the first start of his career.
Golden State trailed most of the game but rallied from a third-quarter deficit as large as 17 to get as close as 77-74 on Marquese Chriss' tomahawk jam over Nicolo Melli.
But Holiday, who shot 4 of 16 through three quarters before making five of his last seven, responded with free throws, two driving layups and a turnaround fade in succession to push the Pelicans' lead back to double digits.
Nickiel Alexander-Walker hit five 3s and finished with 19 points for New Orleans, while Melli was 5 of 7 from deep and scored 16.

The Pelicans took the lead for good when Alexander-Walker's layup made it 23-21 late in the first quarter.
New Orleans was up by as many as 14 in the first half after Melli hit a 3 as he was fouled, and sank his free throw, for a four-point possession that made it 50-36.
Another 3 by Melli gave New Orleans its largest lead at 68-51, but Golden State wasn't ready to wilt, ending the third period down just 76-69 after Paschall hit a jumper to give him what was then a game-high 24 points.
