Fans in Philly witness a clash of styles: Golden State’s fluid attack against the hosts’ desperate bid to climb out of the Atlantic Division cellar. The current score favors the visitors, but the game is still unfolding.

Curry sets the tone early for Warriors

Stephen Curry is calling the shots from the outset. With 12 points in just 9 minutes, he’s hitting 4 of 7 field goals, 3 of 5 from beyond the arc, and a perfect free throw, showcasing his sharpshooting prowess. His opening three at 10:30 set the pace, followed by a layup at 5:42 and another trey at 4:56, both courtesy of Draymond Green’s playmaking. Curry’s defensive hustle shines too, snagging a rebound at 9:54 to keep possession alive.

Gui Santos, subbing in for Green at 4:27, makes an instant impact with a three-pointer at 2:39, pushing the lead to 30-24 with Curry’s assist. The Warriors are shooting 52.4% from the field and 45.5% from three, dishing out 10 assists compared to the 76ers’ 2, a testament to their crisp teamwork.

76ers fight to stay in the game

Philadelphia leans on Quentin Grimes, who matches Curry’s 12 points with a perfect 5-for-5 shooting, including two threes. His buckets at 7:15 and 5:20 keep the 76ers competitive, while Kelly Oubre Jr. adds 4 points with clutch free throws at 4:27. Andre Drummond contributes 3 points and 3 rebounds, starting the scoring with a tip-in at 11:38.

Tyrese Maxey, a key offensive cog, is off the mark, missing all five shots, including a three at 7:39. The Warriors’ defense, bolstered by blocks from Kevon Looney and Quinten Post, stifles Philly’s efforts, holding them to 42.9% shooting as they scramble to close the gap.

First quarter heats up with tight play

At the 2:07 mark, the Warriors call a timeout after Buddy Hield’s turnover out of bounds. Moments earlier, Gui Santos grabbed a defensive rebound at 2:21, thwarting Maxey’s 16-foot miss. The 30-24 score reflects a balanced rebound tally (11 each), but Golden State edges out in assists and blocks, while the 76ers lead in steals (3-2).

The game saw early lead changes, with Philly jumping to 4-0 before the Warriors surged back, tying it at 12-12 by 6:22 via Moses Moody and Gary Payton II. Since then, Curry’s hot hand has kept Golden State ahead, capitalizing on miscues like Paul George’s turnover at 8:03.
