The Golden State Warriors, who were 4.5-point favorites, overcame a slow start to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers with a 127-104 scoreline, despite the 76ers leading 22-15 at the end of the first quarter and trailing closely with a 48-45 halftime score. The Warriors pulled away with a dominant third quarter, outscoring the 76ers 43-23 for a 91-68 lead. Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Jonathan Kuminga added 18 points. The 76ers, missing Joel Embiid and dealing with Tyrese Maxey's illness and Draymond Green's right knee contusion, struggled to contain the Warriors' offense. Tobias Harris and Patrick Beverly put up a fight, scoring 9 and 6 points respectively by halftime. The Warriors' victory is part of a successful road trip, improving their record to 23-25 and approaching the Play-In bracket, while the 76ers have now dropped 7 of their last 8 games ahead of the trade deadline.
Stephen Curry offered up another reminder of why he’s considered by most to be the greatest shooter in NBA history, scoring 42 points and canning a season-high 11 3-pointers as the Warriors beat the Indiana Pacers 131-109. https://t.co/08VRunyFO7 https://t.co/IKtd4yE7bP

Steph Curry started the night 7/7 from 3... and ended up hitting 11 of them on way to 42 points and a win! 42 PTS / 15-22 FGM / 11-16 3PM https://t.co/i86VQ4BeTX
Steph finishes with 11 3's, after making eight in the first half. No one more than 33 years, 2 months old had made 11 3's in an NBA game -- until tonight. Steph turns 36 next month.
In the 3 games Klay has missed this season (including tonight), Curry has done the following: vs Pels: 42 points, 15/22 FG, 28-point win vs 76ers: 37 points, 12/17 FG, 12-point win vs Pacers: 42 points, 15/22 FG, 22-point win 40.3 ppg, 69% FG, 3 convincing wins.
Warriors finish off a dominant 4-1 road trip. Comfortable wins in Memphis and Brooklyn. Overtime loss in Atlanta. Blowout wins in Philadelphia and Indiana. It spikes their record to 24-25. Momentum will be tested the next four: vs Suns, at Jazz, vs Clippers, at Jazz.
Pretty impressive win for the Warriors on the second game of a back-to-back in Indiana. Warriors have 11 more shot attempts against a team with the No. 2 pace in the NBA.

Steph Curry hits his 10th and 11th 3s to finish with 42 points and put the Warriors up 20 with under four minutes left. Trayce Jackson-Davis subs in to a standing ovation. Local legend for his four years at Indiana. He gets an alley oop on his first possession. Another eruption.

Gui Santos supplying more meaningful minutes for Golden State. Running the floor, defending with purpose and spotting up for a couple triples. He pairs 13 points with six rebounds. Warriors lead 114-96 with 5:11 to play.
Warriors open a 95-76 lead after three quarters behind 36 points (and nine 3-pointers) from Curry. They're 12 minutes away from their fifth win in their last six games -- and capping a five-game road trip with a 4-1 record.
Barely in his hands 👀 Make that 9 threes and 36 PTS for Curry! Warriors-Pacers | Live on the NBA App 📲 https://t.co/cYAB7PLteq https://t.co/CMkCKSgeaz
Steph tonight ... - 6 for 6 on 3s in the 1st quarter. Matches the best percentage he's shot from 3, in any quarter, in his career. Was 6-for-6 two other times. - 8 for 9 in first half. Matches most he ever made in a first half, 2nd time he's shot 8 for 9 (2/3/16 at Washington).
Steph Curry is 8-for-9 from 3-PT range. It’s halftime . The record for most 3PM in a game is 14 (Klay Thompson, 2018). 🎥 @NBCSWarriors https://t.co/6J0Vi8EcLw
Curry with 7 made 3-pointers with 4+ minutes left in the first half. Of course Klay's NBA record is 14. Target set.
Curry's six triples -- the last of which over two defenders, and from French Lick -- help the Warriors to a 45-34 lead after 12 minutes. Pacers play at the NBA's second-fastest pace. Golden State obliges. Jonathan Kuminga dunks his way to eight points. Offense easy to come by.
WARDELL. STEPHEN. CURRY. 6/6 from deep in the first quarter, absurd 🔥 (via @NBCSWarriors) https://t.co/I1zPwYWKu9
Stephen Curry has taken six shots tonight. All have been 3's. All went in.
Stephen Curry unconscious early: 5 of 5 from 3-point range for 15 first-quarter points.
Warriors have won both games when Klay misses a game by double digits, and Curry averages 40 points in those games. Let's see how it goes tonight.
Andrew Wiggins showed why the Warriors might be better keeping him than trading him, scoring 10 of his 21 points during a game-changing third quarter as Golden State beat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 127-104. https://t.co/Ag1I7ziecx https://t.co/G6fn5P53xW

The Warriors SMOKE the Sixers in Philly. They've now lost 7 of their last 8. 😬 https://t.co/SR00Bqm2fU
Warriors get a blowout win in Philadelphia: 127-104. Andrew Wiggins 21 points, 10 rebounds. Nice nights from Klay Thompson, Jonathan Kuminga, Kevon Looney. They have won four of five. Record: 23-25, back within a game of Play-In bracket.
Final: Warriors 127, Sixers 104 Golden State torches a short-handed Sixers team in the second half to win for the fourth time in five games. Yes, Philly is down a few guys – led by Joel Embiid – but it'll be surprising if the Sixers don't add reinforcements before the deadline.
Klay Thompson with a response night: 18 points on 6/12 FG. Made four of his five 3s, including a vintage pull-up in transition to cap it. Gui Santos about to sub in for him in the fourth, this time because Warriors are up 25.
The Warriors outscore the @sixers 43-23 in the third quarter. The #sixers now trail 91-68 heading to the fourth. KJ Martin - 15 pts Tobias Harris - 13 pts Tyrese Maxey - 12 pts Patrick Beverly - 10 pts #brotherlylove
After 3: Warriors 91, Sixers 68 Warriors outscore Sixers 43-23 in the third, blowing this game open, and did so with Stephen Curry doing next to nothing (2-for-7, 9 points). Andrew Wiggins has 21 for GSW. Ugly night for Philly, which is 4-for-19 from 3.
Wiggins in his bag: 21 points and 10 boards.
An Andrew Wiggins jumper makes it a 27-9 run to open the second half for the Golden State Warriors, who lead by 21 with 4:40 to go in the third. Sixers are down several key contributors even beyond Joel Embiid, and it's showing.
Andrew Wiggins up to 19 points on 8/13 FG and nine rebounds in 21 minutes a day before the deadline. Two 3s. Warriors up 21 in Philadelphia, mid third.
Warriors separating and leading 69-52 with 6:37 to play in the third quarter. Screening, passing and cutting. Moving the ball. In sync defensively.
Wiggins cleans up the mess to give the Warriors their largest lead of the game 💪 Warriors-Sixers on ESPN https://t.co/l3DISPchXk
Steph Curry at the half: 2 points 0/4 FG 0/3 3P https://t.co/OrmXoDsay4
It was a higher scoring second quarter but at halftime the @sixers trail the Warriors 48-45. #Sixers T.Harris - 9 pts/4 reb J.Springer - 8 pts/4 reb KJ Martin - 7 pts T.Maxey - 4 pts #brotherlylove
Stephen Curry in the first half missed all four of his shots en route to two points from the foul line. Quality defense by Philadelphia hounding him all over the floor.
Nice second quarter for the Warriors' depth pieces. They were +7 in the non-Curry minutes. Wiggins and Kuminga (pressuring rim) have 11 points. Quinones/Moody hit three combined 3s. Nice defensive stint from Kevon Looney. He's a +11. They're up 48-45 despite only 2 Curry points.
Halftime: Warriors 48, Sixers 45 Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga each have 11 for Golden State, who started making 3s in the second. Tobias Harris leads Philly with 9, while the Sixers overall were 2-for-14 from 3.
Significantly stronger second quarter for the Warriors concludes with a 48-45 halftime lead. Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga with 11 points apiece. Great two-way minutes from Quinones, who paired steady defense on -- and off -- the ball with two 3-pointers and seven points.
Golden State opens the second quarter with a 12-5 run to force a timeout. Defense much more cohesive and ball flowing better on offense. Nice sequence for Klay Thompson, hitting a corner trey and hockey assisting Jonathan Kuminga via DHO with Kevon Looney.
A very low scoring first quarter but the @sixers lead the Warriors 22-15. Patrick Beverly leads all scorers with 6 pts Jaden Springer, Paul Reed & KJ Martin each with 4pts #brotherlylove #sixers https://t.co/ZBS0uAExIi
Warriors miss 17 of their first 22 shots and trail Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris and Philadelphia's backups 22-15 after 12 minutes. Not yet getting many great looks against an enthused defensive effort from the 76ers.
After 1: Sixers 22, Warriors 15 An ugly one so far, with the two teams combining to shoot 1-for-13 from 3. Andrew Wiggins had 5 for GSW, which is 5-22 overall, while Patrick Beverley had six off the bench for the Sixers.
The Warriors went nearly six quarters (plus an overtime) without a made 3 from anybody other than Steph Curry. Dario Saric hits one to close the 1Q. It had been since the 3Q in Atlanta. Zero in Brooklyn. Warriors only scored 15 first quarter points tonight: 5/22 FG, 1/7 from 3.
It's time for @sixers basketball. Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are in town to take on Tyrese Maxey and the #76ers. @Matt_Murphy04 gets you ready with #Sixers pregame followed by @McGinnisThomas on the call right here on The Fanatic. #brotherlylove https://t.co/BXCsXJBFNK
The 76ers have been struggling ever since Joel Embiid dropped 70 points against the Spurs 😬 Can Philly (+150) get back on track tonight at home against the Warriors? 📺: Warriors vs. 76ers | 7:30 ET | ESPN https://t.co/vSsZwCcTD8
Warriors are 4.5-point favorites against the Philadelphia 76ers sans injured star Joel Embiid and rotationers De'Anthony Melton, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum. Tyrese Maxey (illness) questionable for Philadelphia. Draymond Green (right knee contusion) questionable for GS.
