Barnes’ late 3-pointer lifts Warriors over 76ers, 108-105

“Curry”™s comments last week before the Warriors”™ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers also raised eyebrows.

Warriors forward Harrison Barnes drained a game-winning 3-pointer to help the Warriors avoid an embarrassing loss to the Sixers.

“I take away knowing that we competed with the defending champions”, Noel said. You win and you lose.

Four different Warriors scored during the rally, with Thompson putting in 6 points.

The Sixers don’t view the close game as an “almost win” or a “nearly good enough”. “We’re growing and we’re building”.

The Warriors improved to 43-4, while the Sixers dropped to 7-41.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – This was a game even the Warriors felt they should have lost. When Curry arrived at the Wells Fargo Center for practice Friday night, there was a father-son duo waiting for him above the players’ entrance. “That’s just how everybody thinks”.

Trailing at one point by 24, the Sixers mounted a furious comeback in the second half to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.

Asked about the weekend, Curry told reporters it’ll be great: “a win and a win” – meaning after the Warriors whup the Thunder on Saturday, his Panthers will win the Super Bowl on Sunday. The Sixers weren’t intimidated by that.

Their defence has been good, but offence has been the key reason they are so ahead of the pack.

Hey, you have to give the young man credit for shooting so high. “It validates the work they have put in”.

The Sixers were doubling Curry “at all cost” on the last play, according to Sixers coach Brett Brown. “We’ve got to come out and play”. The 73 points were the most the Sixers allowed in any half this season.

If everything goes right for the 76ers, then they might just be able to compete with the Warriors.

“Obviously we want to get a win on Saturday, and obviously I want the (Panthers) to win on Sunday,” Curry said, referring to the Oklahoma City game.
