Stephen Curry scored 15 of his game-high 37 points in the third quarter, and the Warriors bounced back nicely from a pair of heartbreaking one-point losses to beat the Philadelphia 76ers and MVP front-runner Joel Embiid 119-107 at Chase Center on Tuesday.
Playing without Klay Thompson, who was a late scratch due to an illness, the Warriors (20-24) avoided many of the problems that have dragged them down for most of the season and overcame whatever mistakes they did make.
Despite committing 18 turnovers and getting minimal production from its bench, Golden State still was very efficient while shooting 55.7 percent for the game.
Curry led the way, going 12 of 17 from the floor and 8 of 13 on 3-pointers. It’s the six consecutive game in which the two-time scoring champ has poured in 25 points or more, and it’s his 18th 30-point game of the season.
Jonathan Kuminga continued to prove his worth, scoring 26 points with seven rebounds. Andrew Wiggins also looked good, recording 23 points on 8 of 10 shooting.
