The Chicago Bulls, led by 28 points from DeMar DeRozan, ended the Boston Celtics' nine-game NBA winning streak with a 121-107 victory on Monday.
Zach LaVine, who was frustrated to be pulled from the waning minutes of the Bulls' loss to Orlando on Friday, scored 22 points.
Nikola Vucevic added 12 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago -- who had also beaten the Celtics at home in October but fell to them in Boston on November 4 in the game that launched the Celtics' streak.
At 13-4, the Celtics still own the best record in the NBA. Down by as many as 21 in the third quarter, Boston twice pulled within eight in the fourth quarter.
Thompson was coming off a 41-point performance in Houston and was expected to miss the second night of the back-to-back. He hasn't played both games in a back-to-back since returning in January from Achilles and knee ligament surgeries.
Curry, who had 33 points in Houston, was listed as out with right elbow soreness and Green for lower back injury management.
Kevon Looney was the only regular starter in the Warriors lineup and the Pelicans, led by 35 points from Brandon Ingram, took full advantage of 27 Golden State turnovers.
CJ McCollum added 15 points and Jonas Valanciunas added 10 for the Pelicans, who welcomed star forward Zion Williamson back after a three-game absence with a foot contusion.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
