The host Golden State Warriors squeaked by the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, 106 - 104. The win gave Golden State (53 - 14) control of the first seed in the West once again after a four - game losing streak caused the Warriors to fall behind San Antonio in the standings. While the Dubs looked destined to fall in a fifth straight contest on Tuesday, the team managed to come back from down by 16 in the third quarter to earn a narrow win. Much of Golden State's success was due to strong play from Draymond Green, who barely missed a five by five. Green led the team with eight assists, seven rebounds, six blocks, and four steals while scoring an impressive 20 points including several clutch free - throws in the fourth quarter. Green's performance helped to make up for some of reigning MVP Steph Curry's slumping. Curry, who celebrated his 29th birthday on Tuesday, led the team with 29 points but shot just 8 - of - 23 along with five turnovers. Philadelphia (24 - 43) nearly pulled off the stunning win but slowed down at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The team still had plenty of positive takeaways from the win, however. Rookie phenom Dario Saric scored in double digits for the 17th straight game, leading the team with 24 points. His output almost matched Green's, as he dished out six assists, had seen rebounds, blocked two shots, and came away with three steals. Sophomore center Jahlil Okafor was another bright spot for Philly. Okafor scored 22 points in just 23 minutes of play while shooting 8 - of - 15 from the field and 6 - of - 7 from the free - throw line. On Thursday, Golden State will host the Orlando Magic, while the 76ers will host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday in Nerlens Noel's return to Philadelphia.
