Curry and Russell combine for 76 in 136-106 win in Philadelphia

POTENT BACKCOURT

A competitive first half was undone in just one quarter on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. As the Warriors clung to a 48-44 lead at the break, they erupted for 48 points in the third quarter alone, a pivotal run that boosted them to a 136-106 win over Philadelphia. The win is the team’s eleventh straight, tied for the sixth longest streak in franchise history.

Stephen Curry (39 points, eight rebounds, six assists) and D’Angelo Russell (37 points, four rebounds, six assists) combined for 76 points to lead the Warrior attack. Draymond green finished with seven points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists to tie his career best.

After a sluggish start offensively, the Dubs shot a blistering 85 percent in the third quarter, including 71 percent from three-point range with seven makes. Russell had 15 of his 37 in the frame and Curry, who had struggled to find his shot in the first half, had 12 points without missing a single shot.

BENCH BOWMAN

Ky Bowman, appearing in his second game of the month, finished with 20 points in just 15 minutes off the bench, going 6-for-8 from the floor including a pair of three-point field goals. It was Bowman’s first appearance since January 18 against Orlando, when he had 10 points, two rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals in 18 minutes of action.

The two-way guard has spent the majority of the season with the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Warriors G-League affiliate, and is averaging 13.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
