Well…
Our Philadelphia 76ers were rolling with four straight victories against this tough stretch of mostly playoff-caliber teams. Wins against the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Dallas Mavericks all had us feeling good.
Then, Steph Curry happened on Monday night. 49 points on 28 field goals (10-of-17 from 3) later, and the Golden State Warriors handed the Sixers only their third home loss since March 1. The Sixers were without Defensive Player of the Year candidate Ben Simmons, so that might have had something to do with Curry going full nuclear like some 6-foot-3 3-point shooting Godzilla monster.
