The Warriors had a golden opportunity to claim the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference on Saturday in Philadelphia but instead suffered one of their most baffling losses in recent memory, falling 126-119 to the 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.
Despite Paul George and Tyrese Maxey combining for just three points in the first half, the Warriors still found themselves trailing by 12 at the break. With Joel Embiid sidelined for the entire 2024-25 season, the 76ers’ usual top scorers finished with a modest 22 points combined—far overshadowed by two unexpected standouts.
Quentin Grimes delivered a career performance, dropping 44 points, including 20 in the first half and 24 in the second. Former Warriors guard Kelly Oubre added to the damage, scoring 15 before halftime and finishing with 20. The short-handed Warriors simply couldn’t contain the duo, leading to a frustrating defeat.
