The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up a very long 6-game, 13-day road trip on Wednesday with a trip to The Bay to take on the NBA-best Golden State Warriors. While the team welcomed back a couple of starters back into the fold, they were once again shorthanded missing top scorers Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris.
Those losses were too much to overcome in this one as the Sixers fell to the Warriors 116-96 despite leading by as many as 19. It’s a somewhat expected loss considering the fact that Philadelphia was so shorthanded and the Warriors have the best record in the league led by the MVP front runner to begin the season in Stephen Curry.
Seth Curry had 24 points and Tyrese Maxey had 19 points to lead Philadelphia to the win in this one. Danny Green came off the bench and had 10 points, Matisse Thybulle had seven points, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks, Georges Niang added nine points before fouling out, and Andre Drummond pulled down 12 rebounds.
