4th-quarter run powers Warriors to win over 76ers
With 8.5 seconds left and the Warriors nursing a 106-103 lead, T.J. McConnell overshot his target on an inbounds pass. Back in Oakland after their most grueling road stretch of the season, the Warriors looked for silver linings. After a four-game lead over the Spurs for the Western Conference's top seed gave way to a tie in just two weeks, Golden State was forced to re-examine everything from offensive sets to substitution patterns to its general mind-set. With 11 of their final 16 games at home, the Warriors could take solace in a friendly stretch run. Tuesday's matchup against an injury-depleted 76ers team that was mired in a 2-7 skid seemed the ideal antidote for Golden State's ills. Midway through the second quarter, on an inbounds pass, Curry looked to his left and locked eyes with his intended target. A smattering of boos emanated from the capacity Oracle Arena crowd as the buzzer sounded on the stanza. Out of the break, a Golden State team often undone by fourth-quarter woes spread the floor, attacked in transition and used a 15-2 run to retake the lead for the first time in the second half.
