Grimes took the offensive controls while George and Tyrese Maxey struggled, scoring 12 points in the third seven minutes of the second half as Philadelphia extended its lead to 15.

Takeaways Warriors: Playing without Jimmy Butler (right mid back spasms), there were times when Golden State got sloppy with the ball.

76ers: In the first game since Joel Embiid was shut down for the season with a left knee injury, it was Philadelphia’s supporting players — Grimes, Oubre and Yabusele — who made the impact while stars Maxey and George struggled

Key moment After Golden State tied it at 116 with two minutes left, Grimes drove to the basket to give Philadelphia the lead. Then, after Moses Moody's miss at the other end, Yabusele drilled a right corner 3 to increase the lead to five.

Key stat Grimes previous career high was 36 points for New York against Indiana on April 5, 2023.
