The Warriors summoned their championship DNA in the second half to pull out a win they had to have.

Green lit a fire under the Warriors in a dysfunctional first half and it paid off in a masterclass second half. While the Warriors' heartbeat picked up a Flagrant 1 foul, his 17th technical foul and had five fouls, he willed Golden State to the victory. And it's been that way for a decade.

Draymond Green's fire fueled the Warriors to a wild win over the Pelicans. General manager Bob Myers played a major part in that, too.

Honing in his sheer will behind his intensity and frustration was the glue that kept Green and the Warriors together. The rest is history, and everything he and the Warriors have built could be history if Myers' future with the franchise isn't figured out in a hurry. "Whether it's in front of 19,000 and on the bench or whether it's a phone call or a text or conversation, whatever it is, there's a lot of trust in his perspective. The Warriors came out of the gates slow and needed a spark. Either way, it served as a prime example of the unmatched impact Myers has on the Warriors. Green played 17 minutes in the second half and attempted one shot. His late turnover Sunday night in the Warriors' ugly 99-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves played a major part in one of Golden State's most frustrating collapses of the season. Less than a minute later, Green was back in the game without a foul to give and just under four minutes left in regulation. For the night, Green was a game-high plus-26 in plus/minus over 33 minutes in the Warriors' 11-point win. But that's a relationship that has been built over the last 11 years, and that is a relationship that will continue to grow over the next 40 years. He knows what makes Green tick and what makes him go. "I got back in the huddle and challenged our guys and boosted the lead even more.

“But when he walks in the door it’ll be when it’s the right time for him. “We’d love to have him and hope that that does happen, because we want to be whole and I’m sure he wants to be a part of this,” Curry said after a 120-109 victory over New Orleans on Tuesday night. Wiggins has been working out on his own every day but when and if he returns to the defending NBA champions, the training and medical staffs would need to evaluate his fitness and how much he might be able to contribute and how soon.

In the midst of an underwhelming first half in a game that had important bearing on the playoff race, the Warriors lacked energy and focus. They had committed ...

But they outscored the Pelicans 74-46 in the second half, including shooting 70% on their way to their second-biggest comeback of the season. "When I turned it up a notch, [Curry] turned it up another two notches," Green said. Curry scored 22 of his 38 points in the second half. "It feels like we've been in a playoff vibe for a couple weeks now," Curry said. Every game does matter." "At the point that I'm going to put myself out there like that, you hope guys will back me up," Green said. "I'm sure [Green] wouldn't go out on an island like that if he didn't have that confidence. As Ingram made his way from the baseline back onto the court, he approached Green and the two exchanged words, resulting in some shoving. Mad at the world, yelling at everybody -- their bench, our bench, me -- and frankly, we deserved it." "Just the intensity, the frustration early with the way we were playing. For me, if I'm going to change my intensity level, then why be out there?" Green will be fined $5,000 if the technical foul isn't rescinded over the next 24 hours -- which Green believes should happen.

The Golden State Warriors were at risk of falling back into the thick of the play-in tournament struggle before a second-half eruption.

Draymond Green explained how his exchange with CJ McCollum helped inject life into the Warriors' win over the Pelicans.

"I fouled [Brandon Ingram], it was a good, hard foul and CJ [McCollum] started talking. I was able to get my guys going and they started doing what they do and I do what I do." "We started playing with some heart and intensity," Green told Haynes.

Andrew Wiggins missed his 20th consecutive Golden State Warriors game on Tuesday, but continues to work on his conditioning.

The Warriors' confidence comes mostly from Steph Curry and Draymond Green, dual commanders of a championship DNA.

The Golden State Warriors would love to have Andrew Wiggins back before the playoffs, but the team wants to give him the necessary space possible.

Warriors star Draymond Green was whistled for one technical Tuesday night and easily could have been hit with a few more.

[Warriors](https://www.sfgate.com/warriors/) up with a fury on Tuesday night, getting his 17th technical of the year and somehow managing not to get ejected after. With the Warriors down nine late in the second quarter, Green drilled Ingram with his shoulder, an arguably dirty foul that was ultimately ruled a Flagrant 1. Footage from under the basket makes it clear that [Green](https://www.sfgate.com/draymond-green/) got his money's worth for the technical that was called on him.

The Warriors' confidence comes mostly from Steph Curry and Draymond Green, dual commanders of a championship DNA.

Can they do it over the five games remaining on the regular-season schedule? “It just brings out that competitive fire that we have demonstrated for a decade now,” Curry said of Green’s tactical tantrum. The Warriors got worked in the first half, losing every significant category, only to flip the stat sheet in the second half. “And just understanding what it takes to will yourself out of a tough situation. He did his most pivotal of work in the second quarter.

He’s a torpedo, quietly saving his team and destroying the opponent beneath the surface. Curry does it with a shot here, another there, and another after that. [That confidence comes](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/steph-curry-cites-warriors-unmatched-competitive-spirit-win-vs-pelicans) mostly from Curry and Green.

Warriors stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are used to making NBA history, but the milestone reached by the duo Tuesday night is truly incredible.

Klay Thompson has made plenty of 3-point history in his career, but perhaps none more meaningful than Tuesday night.

He shot a lowly 28.6 percent on threes in October and has shot better than 40 percent beyond the arc in three straight months, including four of the six months this season. It was Thompson's age-25 season, and his fifth in the league. "He's having a hell of a year, based on what he's come back from and how he started the year," Curry said. Curry's 39 points and eight 3-pointers might have saved the Warriors' season Tuesday night. "If you asked him, I would say he's probably proud of that, given how good he was before the injuries and then to be out for a couple of years and returned from two major injuries. The 2015-16 NBA season was Thompson's second straight All-Star campaign. Thompson's fifth and final three of the night now has him at 278 triples this season in 65 games. 13 and Feb. Those two injuries took away Thompson's age-29 and age-30 seasons, maybe even his prime. Previously, Thompson's career high was 276 threes in a season. "He's really stepped up in a big way, pushing himself to new heights. He's ahead of Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (271) by seven threes as the NBA's leader this season, and he has done so in 10 fewer games than Hield.

Klay Thompson moved up on the NBA's all-time scoring list during Tuesday's game.

However, they are held back by their shooting struggles, ranking 25th in field goal percentage (46.4%) and 3-point percentage (34.4%).
