The Philadelphia 76ers broke a depressing four-game losing streak with a 119-113 victory over the Washington Wizards, while Steph Curry delivered another incredible performance for the Golden State Warriors in their victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner’s contributions helped the Indiana Pacers defeat the New York Knicks in another game.
The Phoenix Suns were defeated 113–112 by the Golden State Warriors thanks to a spectacular 3-pointer from 33 yards by Steph Curry.
Curry’s actions, which included latching onto Brandin Podziemski’s pass and producing a magical moment to end a tight game, enabled the Warriors to win for the fourth time in a row.
With less than five seconds remaining in the game, Curry made his tenth career game-winning 3-pointer. He finished with a total of 30 points.
Podziemski stated, I just attempted to get it to him, according to AP interviews. No matter how much time passed.
The Warriors were ahead 84–82 going into the fourth quarter, but Devin Booker’s turnaround jumper gave the Suns a 112-110 lead, completely turning the tide of the game.
In addition to Jonathan Kuminga’s remarkable performance, which included 21 points, Draymond Green contributed 15 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds.
In the meantime, Booker scored 32 points for Phoenix, and Kevin Durant scored 24 for the Arizona team, as might have been.
Following Curry’s three-pointer, they had two opportunities to win the game, but Booker was fouled under the rim in the first and Durant missed the second time around.
After several close games against the Suns in recent weeks, Warriors coach Steve Kerr stated that his team was due for some good fortune against them.
He said, We were due. One of these close games was about to go our way. However, the boys merited it. It was not a random event.Frank Vogel, Kerr’s opponent, was left to regret Curry’s magical moment that concluded an otherwise tight match.
He clarified, We just weren’t at our best. We performed adequately in our basketball game to defeat these men. The result is determined by one play in the last two seconds.
While the Warriors are playing away at the Utah Jazz on Monday, the Suns will be looking to get back against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.
The Sixers snap a four-game losing streak.
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Washington Wizards 119-113 to snap a four-game losing run.
Tyrese Maxey and Buddy Hield led the way with 28 and 23 points, respectively, and rookie Ricky Council IV led the Pennsylvania team with 19 points and 10 rebounds on a fantastic night.
Speaking highly of Council’s performance following his first excursion, which lasted for more than 12 minutes in court, Maxey waxed poetic.
Maxey stated of teammate Council, as quoted by the AP, He was big time. He rolled over. energy-wise, offensively, and defensively. Down the stretch, he scored some huge buckets. I’m happy for him.
Despite scoring 21 points apiece, Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija were among the Wizards’ top scorers, but the home team was never able to take the lead after the opening frame.
On Monday, the 76ers will return to action on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Wizards will visit the Dallas Mavericks on the same day.
PACERS SURVIVE AMID KNICKSThe Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks 125-111, with Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner taking major roles in the win.
On a historic night for the Pacers, Turner scored 23, Haliburton added 22, and Pascal Siakam and T.J. McConnell contributed 19 and 16 points apiece for Indiana.
Despite Jalen Brunson scoring a very amazing 39 points in his comeback from an ankle injury, the Knicks’ night was underwhelming.
For the New York team, Precious Achiuwa and Donte DiVincenzo scored 15 and 14 points, respectively.
The Knicks, who had won nine straight games before this one, are now headed for their third loss in their past four games.
Turner stated, We played with a little more of an edge, according to AP quotes. Tyrese was acting unique, and I left my mark on the game.We won as a team overall, and we made more of an effort to stand up for ourselves when it was necessary.
