In a crazy final, the Edgecombe-Mackey duo defeats the Warriors in the last second!

Ce Sixers – Warriors offered one of the craziest pairings of this early season, to the delight of Philadelphia, a 99-98 winner on Thursday. But it took several last-minute feats to extricate himself from what would remain a massive mess.

The Warriors start the meeting without Stephen Curryabsent du “road trip” de Golden State, ni Jimmy Butlerhit his knee during the last game against the Thunder. And that’s obvious from the start. The guests, without automation, completely miss the first quarter. The bearer while announced was uncertain, Joel Embiid has been reported. Then Tyrese McKay he takes the match by himself, and almost single-handedly breaks up the Warriors. Golden State’s offense lacks everything: rhythm, skill (4/24 in the first quarter, including 2/15 on 3-pointers), linker… From 5-5, the score goes to 27-5 for the Sixers.

The Sixers led by 24 points…

Moses Moody tries to start the match for his team, while the California defense gives some momentum to the Bay players. But Philly is in control, even with Maxey blowing on the bench. Quentin Grimes takes over the scoring, and Dominick Barlow brings a lot of activity. What was expected to be a difficult night turns into a nightmare for the Warriors as Draymond Green he joins the bench with a soft limp after a seemingly innocuous contact. Jared McCain takes responsibility to pull Golden State a little more from long range just before the halftime buzzer, +22 Sixers (56-34).

The deficit would increase to 24 units in the third quarter, as Maxey signs another hot streak with three shots from behind the arc in less than two minutes (67-43, 28′). Faced with the apathy of his people, Steve Kerr changes everything. The Warriors coach is trying a zone defense and starting his rotation, which was already impressive against Oklahoma City. And it works. De’Anthony Melton he is bleeding for his first match after a serious knee injury. Five with Pat Spencer, Quinten Post, Seth Curryor Buddy Hield shows much more energy.

The last 72 seconds of madness!

So Kerr insists, he adds Guy Santos – which has not yet come into play – into the equation. And the match changes irreparably. The dynamic is completely in favor of the “end of the bench” players of the Warriors, and Philadelphia goes five long minutes without a single point! Melton brings the game back within one possession to put Golden State on a 15-0 run at a stunned Xfinity Mobile Arena. Post, Santos, and Spencer are even thinking about doing the hard part from afar, the Warriors lead by four points with 1’12” behind (94-98) But this match did not end as irrational.

Grimes brings his team to within one point of an almost immediate 2+1. Adem Bona immediately made free throws to put his team back in control, but he went 0/2 with 40 seconds left. The Warriors still have a one-point lead and a layup with 10.1 seconds left, but VJ Edgecombe intercept the ball! The final shot is for Maxey, who misses from mid-range, but Edgecombe reappears and turns the aerial ball into the winner with just nine tenths on the clock. Just enough for Hield to send a quarterback pass to Melton… But his layup is knocked off the backboard by Tyrese Maxey’s monstrous comeback! The Sixers can shout their joy, they just won in one of the meetings that should remain among the craziest of the season.

THE END OF THE SIXERS – WARRIORS WAS UNREAL.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– Fiery time of money. There was everything: tension, with two successful last-minute challenges, knife-edge suspense and heroic actions by Edgecombe and then Maxie to save the Sixers. Nothing less was needed to make up for the terrible fall and turn everything around at the last moment.

– “hairdressers” of the Warriors are still doing the job. The already very weakened Golden State was not helped by the tasteless performance of its starters (1/8 in 18 minutes for Al Horford, 2/8 in 20 minutes for Brandin Podziemski). Fortunately, those we thought were at the very back of Steve Kerr’s rotation once again came to the rescue, like the incredible Pat Spencer (16 points on 5/8, 4 rebounds, 4 assists). The bench had 67 of 98 points and could have been the story of this game.

– Golden State slips into the red and loses Draymond Green. With this second straight setback, the Warriors fall below 50% wins (11-12) and see a small gap widen with the Top 6 (a 3.5 win difference over the Wolves). The exit of Draymond Green, who left the room with his foot in a protective boot, could spark fears of another leadership absence in the days or even weeks to come.
