Brandan Wright : A great all-around player with the speed, accuracy and power to be the next great basketball legend.

Warriors-Heat Preview

You just know the Warriors' five-hour flight to Oakland was lovely.

It wasn't just the fact they closed their five-game trip with a 110-103 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday. It was how they did it.

By coming back from a double-digit hole in the fourth quarter. By rallying together after losing two games in which they led big early. By getting contributions up and down the lineup.

"We're going to feel good about ourselves going home," guard Monta Ellis said after recording 29 points, five rebounds and four assists.

The Warriors went 2-3 on the trip, though 1-4 was about the best many thought they could do. They lost to Atlanta, defeated Charlotte and took big first-half leads before losing to Miami and Orlando. Now they are bubbling with confidence because they played four winning teams tough. They figured out some things with their lineup, got back to playing up-tempo and addressed some of their ills.

"I think it's because we had been playing good basketball," coach Keith Smart said. "Sometimes you don't get the real outcome of the game because you don't get the win. But I think our guys have had a great deal of mental toughness. That's what they're trying to get, mental toughness, to keep working when things are not going their way. Because, eventually, somewhere along the line, things are going to fall in place for you."

They fell in place Wednesday, especially down the stretch.

Golden State erased an 82-72 deficit to start the fourth quarter, thanks mostly to Ellis. He scored eight points in 1 minute and 11 seconds, sandwiching 3-pointers around a floater in the lane over Hornets center Emeka Okafor. Moments later, a three-point play by Warriors guard Reggie Williams tied the score at 85.

With 6:48 left, a 3-pointer by forward Dorell Wright put the Warriors up 90-89.

Golden State never trailed again. Wright's 3-pointer started a 12-0 run that shifted all the momentum to the Warriors. Wright capped the run by making the extra pass, finding Stephen Curry in the corner for a 3-pointer. The Warriors led 99-89 with 4:14 left.

"They got it going on us," said Hornets guard Chris Paul, who finished with 24 points, 13 assists and six rebounds. "Monta Ellis scored eight quick points, and they had the momentum from there. We made a run, but we put ourselves in a hole, and we just have to close out teams like that. I think that was a bad loss for us."

It was a good win for the Warriors. Not just because they now start a stretch in which they play 18 of 22 at home. But the Warriors also got the first glimpse of how they were assembled to look.

For the first time since 2008, Golden State had its entire roster healthy and ready. The Warriors went five deep off the bench Wednesday, getting 30 points, 21 rebounds and eight assists from their reserves.

Reserve big man Lou Amundson filled in for Andris Biedrins and posted a season-high 12 rebounds to go with seven points and two assists. Guard Acie Law spelled Curry, totaling four points and a steal in nine minutes. Williams was 1-for-5 shooting but was big down the stretch, including his ability to run the point to help the Warriors break the desperate Hornets pressure.

Forward Vladimir Radmanovic made several crucial plays, getting five points, two assists and two rebounds in the third quarter to help the Warriors stay within striking distance.

"Tonight was a perfect example of what depth can bring you," said forward David Lee, who returned to action after missing the previous game because of a bruised tailbone. "We didn't play a great game, but everybody filled in for everyone else. "... Now we can wear teams down, we can be up-tempo and play the way we want to play, knowing that when you get tired somebody can come in for you."
