Following their big comeback on Sunday night against the Atlanta Hawks, the Golden State Warriors looked to make it two wins in a row.

The Philadelphia 76ers may not be going to the playoffs like the Hawks, but this is the NBA and anything can happen.

Falling behind by 24 points, the Warriors came all the way to get within three points; however in the end, the 76ers were able to escape with a 110-102 victory.

On the evening, the Warriors shot 95 times from the floor, making just 36 of them, for a shooting percentage of 37.9% and they also shot 33 three-pointers with 13 made.

Lou Williams led the 76ers with 26 points, while Andre Iguodala added 22, as the 76ers were once again without the services of Allen Iverson, who is out for personal reasons.

Monta Ellis led the Warriors with 22 points, despite picking up his fifth foul in the latter stages of the third quarter and was able to play the remaining of the game without picking up that sixth foul.

C.J. Watson scored 20 points off the bench, Stephen Curry added 17 points on 8-for-22 shooting from the floor.
