SAN FRANCISCO – Steph Curry sprained the thumb on his shooting hand in the Warriors’ last game against the Cavaliers and is listed on the official injury report.

That couldn’t be said on Thursday evening.

Curry played with his thumb wrapped and sank all eight of his three-point shots. He finished the game with 30 points, 10 assists and six rebounds.

The Warriors won his minutes by 32 points. He holds the NBA record for games with at least eight 3-pointers, but he has never made that many without missing a single one. His previous record for perfect 3-point shooting was 6-of-6.

The 76ers had their entire big three of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George healthy for a change, but the Warriors (17-16) embarrassed them 139-105. Curry led the attack as the Warriors shared the ball beautifully, played with pace and tamed Philadelphia’s three-headed monster.

In the Warriors’ highest-scoring game since the season opener, they assisted on 42 of their 52 made field goals. Golden State shot an outstanding 60.9% from the field and 56.4% from behind the arc.

Looking ahead to 2025, the Warriors were optimistic that they could put their team-wide shooting woes behind them. The win over Philadelphia certainly looked like proof of concept.

Dennis Schroder, who struggled on offense in his first few weeks as a Warrior, sank each of his first three 3-pointers. Jonathan Kuminga (20 points, five assists, five rebounds) hit a yank-back three-pointer over Joel Embiid as part of a seven-point lead in three minutes. Moses Moody made another to break Philadelphia’s zone. Even Buddy Hield, who had only sunk two of his last 25 3-pointers, knocked down a corner 3-pointer.

The Warriors went 35-19 on 7-11 shooting from distance in the first quarter. On the other hand, the Sixers really looked like they were on their second night in a row. A little slow and uncalibrated, Philadelphia missed its first seven three-pointers and Embiid went 2-6 from the floor against Trayce Jackson-Davis and Draymond Green.

Steve Kerr wants to keep the current starting lineup – and the substitutions behind it – largely the same for the time being. Evne versus Embiid, bigs Kevon Looney and Kyle Anderson remained out of the rotation.

One of the biggest keys to the current rotation is portraying Kuminga in a variety of ways: as the focal point of the second unit, alongside Steph Curry and Green as a slasher, and as a starting minutes player.

Kuminga had the ball in his hands more often and arguably had the best weeks of his career. On Thursday, he delivered four assists in his first stint (and could have had two more).

Even when the Sixers found their outside kick, the Warriors kept pace and took a 16-point lead at halftime. Their small-ball lineup with Kuminga at power forward alongside Green provided countless clean looks, especially against Philadelphia’s zone. Golden State had 22 assists on 26 balls in the first half.
