Warriors 116 Sixers 97

It Was Over When....

The Warriors touched the ball. The fast-breaking Warriors raced out to an early 20-9 lead just 6 minutes into the game and never looked back.

The Game Ball Goes To....

Baron Davis with 21 points and 16 assists, former Sixer, Matt Barnes, with 25 points and 8 rebounds, and Andres Biedrins with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

The Stat Of The Game Is....

Since Golden State dominated nearly every facet of the game, we'll just go with 25, as in a career high 25 points scored by Sixers' rookie Rodney Carney. Although it came in a losing cause, it's always encouraging to see a young guy like Carney post a career high in points scored.

The Bottom Line Is....

This was total domination from start to finish by the Warriors. The Sixers simply could not catch up to the Warriors speedy fast break. Still, there were some encouraging performances for the Sixers on the night. Andre Miller looked good in his first start as a Sixer with 14 points and 7 assists, and as mentioned rookie Rodney Carney posted a career high in points with 25. In the end however, this was an ugly night for the Sixers but they had won two in a row coming into this game, so hopefully they can come back with a win in their next game which is tomorrow in Sacramento.
