Despite Joel Embiid’s absence for the remainder of the season, Philadelphia triumphed over the “on-fire Warriors.” Golden State faltered as Steph Curry couldn’t compensate for the loss of the team’s new star, Jimmy Butler, due to a back injury.

Curry was closely defended but showcased his talent with 13 assists, even though the effort was taxing with each passing game.

Quentin Grimes excelled for the home squad, racking up 44 points.

Dallas also faced defeat without their recent acquisition, Anthony Davis, in a major trade for Luka Dončić. Meanwhile, Milwaukee capitalized on this, with Giannis Antetokounmpo just shy of a triple-double, scoring 29 points and missing a rebound and an assist.

San Antonio won against Memphis in a nail-biting finish, with Dearon Fox clinching the decisive points.

Detroit bounced back to victory after falling to Denver, outperforming Brooklyn, while Sacramento also reveled in a win over Houston.

This came in the absence of Domantas Sabonis, who averages a double-double with 19.9 points and 14.4 rebounds per game, having injured his hamstring just a minute into the game.

In a clash of the league’s worst teams, Washington defeated Charlotte.

The results:

Charlotte – Washington 100:113 (Williams 24 – Coulibaly 17)

Detroit – Brooklyn 115:94 (Duren 18 – Martin 23)

Houston – Sacramento 103:113 (Shengun 30 – DeRozan 21)

Memphis – San Antonio 128:130 (Jackson Jr. 42, Castle 24)

Dallas – Milwaukee 117:132 (Irving 31 – Adetokunbo 29)

Philadelphia – Golden State 126:119 (Grimes 44 – Curry 29)
