MANILA, Philippines – Just when it seemed like the Golden State Warriors already hit their sweet spot this season, the Philadelphia 76ers decided to play spoilers.
The Sixers rallied to a 113-104 victory to snap the Warriors’ 11-game winning streak in the NBA on Thursday, January 31 (Friday, February 1, Manila time).
Ben Simmons buried 26 points built on a 77% shooting clip (10-of-13) as the Sixers also ended their own 10-game losing skid against the Warriors. Their last win over the defending champions was on March 2, 2013.
The Sixers spoiled the hot-shooting night of Steph Curry, who fired 30 of his game-high 41 points from beyond the arc.
