Warriors vs 76ers: Golden State Warriors' standout, Stephen Curry, added a playful twist to his warmup routine, showcasing his quarterback skills as a nod to the NFL excitement. Before the Warriors match against the Philadelphia 76ers, the 35-year-old NBA star exhibited his trademark finesse during the pre-game session.
After a solid 109-98 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, where Curry led the team with an impressive 29 points, the Warriors were looking to continue their winning streak on the road against the Sixers. Apart from the seasoned star, who went about his business as one expected him to, youngster Jonathan Kuminga also played a pivotal role in the fixture, contributing 28 points and ably supporting the seasoned star.
Curry, known for his on-court theatrics, took a break from the traditional warmup routine by playfully balling up his laundry. In a fun-filled moment, he mimicked San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Brock Purdy, complete with a no-look pass to the security personnel, showcasing his remarkable quarterback skills.

Golden Walks Away With 127-104 Win Over 76ers
Even though Curry had an off-shooting night and managed to hit only 2 of 7 field goal attempts, Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins came together combining for 37 points on 17-26 shooting. Their support was enough for Warriors to walk eventually walk away with a 127-104 Win Over 76ers and swept the season series. While it is a rare fear for the Warriors to win with Curry not managing to hit 10 points, they did manage to achieve the feat on Wednesday (February 7 local time) with other players putting their hand up when their team needed it the most.
Both the teams saw every player available on the bench get a run on the court but 76ers, who were playing without the services of the reigning MVP Joel Embiid, were outplayed on the day.
