The Warriors won easily, and there is still a chance in the playoffs!
Curry scored just two points in the first half and nine points in the game, but the Warriors played well in the third quarter and saved face for the team with a big victory. On February 8, 2024, in Beijing, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Philadelphia 76ers to win 104-127. Curry had nine points, three rebounds and one assist, while Wiggins had 21 points and 10 rebounds.
After a period of running-in, the Warriors have won 3 of the last 4 games, and they have the momentum. Curry was doing just fine, while Kumingo was getting more offense and more games. The Warriors still have a good chance of winning another game without Embiid, especially Philadelphia. Curry, Thompson, Green, these three are the three superstars of the Warriors, as soon as the opening game, Curry wanted to let Thompson play, but the cooperation of these three people seemed a little stretched. Although Philadelphia does not have Embiid, they still maintain a one-on-one advantage, especially Curry, who now has the ability to shoot, Harris took over Curry, and it was easy to get to the basket, and Curry also scored a beautiful hat trick for Reid.
Due to Philadelphia's ability to control the ball in the restricted area, the Warriors did not shoot high three-point shooting, and only hit two three-pointers at the end of the half. Curry dribbled the ball for a powerful 3-pointer, but when he saw the referee, he was judged to be an attacker. With 36 minutes left in the first quarter, Saric scored a three-pointer to break the Warriors' three-point deadlock. In the first quarter, the Warriors scored 15 points, which was significantly higher than usual. In the second quarter, the Warriors' players gradually got into the groove, Curry still didn't score, but Wiggins and Kuminga, as well as Quinones, all played well, especially Moody's three-pointer, which gave Philadelphia a four-point advantage. Harris made a single on Thompson to tie the game for Philadelphia. With 2:51 left in the second quarter, Curry broke to the basket, made a turnover, and scored his first goal. Curry didn't score a single goal in the first half, scoring two points from just one penalty.
If the Warriors are to win, Curry will need to improve on his offense. Curry still didn't regain his form in the second half, but he broke through his off-ball form with the protection of his teammates. With 6:56 left in the third quarter, Curry made a three-point shot, and Wiggins' three three-pointers gave the Warriors a 17-point lead. Although Philadelphia replaced the taller Bambam, the Warriors' lack of cooperation left their defense open, and Maxey attacked before scoring despite having his leg broken. Thompson made a three-pointer under the basket and the Warriors pulled away with 25 points. Seeing the huge gap in the score, Curry happily waved to his teammates next to him.
But they didn't take it lightly because of the big advantage, even if a starter like Curry was already off, but they still maintained a strong offense, and Thompson hit a three-point shot, allowing them to open up the Philadelphia gap by 30 points. When Philadelphia replaced all the substitutes, the game finally reached a high levelTide. As a result, the Warriors won at home to Philadelphia, ending their two wins.
