The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Golden State Warriors 113–94 on February 3 at Chase Center, dominating the boards and controlling pace in a defensive showcase. Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 25 points, while T. Watford added 16 as Philadelphia shot 45.2 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers. The 76ers' rebounding advantage proved decisive—they pulled down 56 rebounds to Golden State's 33, translating to second-chance opportunities throughout the night. Golden State's G. Santos and P. Spencer each scored 13 points, but the Warriors' 47.4 percent shooting and 19 made threes couldn't overcome their defensive struggles; they posted a 126.6 defensive rating while allowing Philadelphia to reach 126.6 on offense. The game finished well below the 222.5 Vegas total, with Philadelphia's stingy 103.4 defensive rating suffocating the Warriors in the second quarter (23 points) and fourth quarter (23 points). Golden State's 20 turnovers versus Philadelphia's 12 compounded their offensive inefficiency. The 76ers' balanced attack and rebounding dominance signal a team trending upward in the Eastern Conference race.
