Edgecombe bounced back from his poor shooting performance against the Clippers last Tuesday, dropping a game-high 25 points in the win over the Warriors. He also had seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in 40 minutes of action. It was Edgecombe’s eighth career 25-point game in the NBA.

Seven other players scored double figures for the Sixers, who missed the services of Joel Embiid due to right ankle and knee injury management. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Tyrese Maxey scored 15 and 14 points, respectively, while Trendon Watford added 16 points off the bench.

The Sixers used a third-quarter onslaught to pull away from the Warriors. Philadelphia outscored Golden State 26-16 during that period to turn a slim 58-55 lead into an 84-71 advantage entering the fourth quarter.
Gui Santos and Pat Spencer each scored a team-high 13 points for the Warriors, who were without Stephen Curry due to a lingering knee issue.
