Sixers extend winning streak to five with a 113-94 win over the Warriors

Five straight. No Embiid. No drama. Just the Sixers beating the hell out of the Warriors 113-94.

Philly’s season-best win streak hit five Tuesday night on the second stop of this West Coast trip, improving to 29-21. Golden State, missing Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga, fell to 27-24.

Excuses exist, but the Sixers still did what good teams do. They showed up, dictated the game, and never let it get spicy.

This was a VJ Edgecombe game.

The rookie went for 25 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds and looked completely comfortable being the best player on the floor. That’s the story, especially after he went 1-for-11 the night before against the Clippers.

He didn’t hesitate, didn’t shrink, didn’t play scared. He came out, hit early shots, attacked the paint, and took over the third quarter when the Warriors were selling out to stop Maxey.

Golden State blitzed Tyrese Maxey from the opening tip.

They trapped him way beyond the arc, forced him to give it up, and basically dared the rest of the Sixers to beat them. Maxey finished 3-for-9, and Philly still won by 19 because they didn’t panic. They moved the ball, ran offense, and let Edgecombe and the supporting cast punish the doubles.

The real reason the Warriors never had a chance was the possession battle.

The Sixers murdered them on the glass and forced turnovers. They had eight turnovers forced in the first quarter alone and finished with 25 offensive rebounds, their most in a game since 2019.

Dominick Barlow followed up his career night in LA with six more offensive boards and somehow had 16 offensive rebounds over the back-to-back. That is disgusting work.

Embiid sat with “right ankle injury management and right knee injury management,” so Andre Drummond got the start after not playing the last two games.

He was fine early, but Adem Bona was the bench guy who popped. Bona had 10 points in the first half without missing, brought energy, and looked like exactly the type of big you need when you’re trying to survive the schedule.

The Warriors made it interesting for about five minutes. They got it down to three at halftime, and then the third quarter happened. Edgecombe drove the bus, Oubre hit a corner three to stretch it, and Golden State never sniffed a comeback.

They didn’t even get to the free throw line either. The Warriors finished 1-for-2 at the stripe, which tells you the Sixers weren’t giving them anything easy.

Next stop for the Sixers

Lakers on Thursday night, and it’ll come right after the trade deadline passes, so expect the usual weird vibes. But the point stands.

Five straight wins. Embiid didn’t play. Edgecombe looked like a real one. And the Sixers handled business.
