On Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors lost to the New Orleans Pelicans by a score of 141-105.

The Warriors have now lost each of their last two games by a combined 51 points and were booed by their home crowd at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

After the game, Klay Thompson met with the media and was asked about the boos.

Reporter: "Klay, you guys have been booed each of the last two home games. Obviously, you're not used to that. How do you handle that?"

Thompson: "I don't care. You supposed to lose sleep over it?"

Thompson finished his night with 13 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block while shooting 5/10 from the field and 3/7 from the three-point range in 24 minutes of playing time.

The five-time NBA All-Star got off to a slow start to the season but has been playing better as of late and has averages of 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest while shooting 42.8% from the field and 38.5% from the three-point range in 36 games. 

With the loss, the Warriors dropped to 17-20 in their first 37 games of the season, which has them as the 12th seed in the Western Conference. 

They are in the middle of a two-game losing streak and are 4-6 over their last ten games. 

At home, the Warriors are 11-11 in the 22 games they have played in San Francisco. 

On Friday evening, they will visit the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.
