SAN FRANCISCO – Stephen Curry was and remains the torchbearer of the Warriors’ offense. Over the course of his magnificent NBA career, the two-time NBA MVP has done this many times while essentially shouldering the load alone.

Against the Philadelphia 76ers, Curry was successful again and received plenty of support in a balanced performance that coach Steve Kerr had hoped for.

While Curry had another fantastic night with 30 points and 10 assists, he received plenty of support from his supporting cast, who kept coming up big and paving the way as Golden State defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 139-105 on Thursday at Chase Center.

Much of that came from the usual suspects like Jonathan Kuminga (20 points), Draymond Green (15 points, seven assists) and Andrew Wiggins (15 points), but the Dubs also received significant combined efforts from Dennis Schroder (15 points, six). assists), Lindy Waters III (10 points) and Moses Moody (12 points) in one of Golden State’s most versatile games of the season. Waters and Moody went a combined 6-for-9 from behind the arc.

After an 18-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier in the week, this was exactly the kind of comeback the Warriors needed after a dismal 4-7 record in December.

Curry pointed to the Warriors’ season-high 41 assists as an example of how the game was going for Golden State.

“(That’s) an indication of good ball movement or good organization, paying attention to possessions and finding the open player,” Curry said. “My game was indicative of how we all played, and it was a beautiful brand of basketball. “It seemed like everyone who stepped on the floor was confident in what they were trying to do.”

Philadelphia went into the game with the plan to at least slow Curry down. They packed the paint early and tried to limit his shots. As the Warriors’ other players began to connect, the 76ers had to change their plans.

“They had to stop being as aggressive early in the game as they were against him,” Draymond Green said. “It loosens them up a little bit and then he can do what he does. We all need to make sure we stay aggressive enough with this mindset to make things easier for him.

“We make it easier for him, he obviously makes it easier for everyone else too.”

It wasn’t just the total points that Golden State shined with.

Before the game, coach Steve Kerr talked about his players needing to better defend the 3-point shot, and the Warriors did just that.

The 76ers shot just 9 of 31 (29 percent) from behind the arc, while the Warriors hit 22 of 39 shots from distance, their most since a season-high 27 three-pointers against the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 15.

“I needed it bad,” Kerr said, referring to the entire game. “Great evening for the entire team. It was a really successful offensive game. And we caught them back-to-back, which helped, but our defense was solid. Great start to the game and there were no slackers.”
