Stephen Curry scored 37 points as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 119-107 on Tuesday.

In Tuesday’s win over Philadelphia, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry drained eight three-pointers, providing a much-needed boost to the struggling team and the Chase Center crowd after a shaky first half of the NBA season.

The Sixers, however, were concerned about an injury to reigning MVP Joel Embiid, who limped off in the fourth quarter after Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga landed forcefully on his left knee while wrestling for a loose ball.

Embiid, who had missed the Sixers’ previous two games due to knee and Achilles discomfort, was cleared to play on Tuesday shortly before tipoff.

However, the Cameroonian center was not entirely fit and struggled to move freely throughout the game.

When Embiid was injured in a late-game tussle with Kuminga, the choice to start him became even more questionable.

“They’re going to do an MRI tonight or tomorrow,” Sixers head coach Nick Nurse stated after the game. “It’s unconnected to what’s been bugging him, so we’re just waiting for it.

“Obviously, Joel played a significant role in getting him medically approved to play. He stated he was feeling well.”

Curry, meanwhile, claimed the Warriors’ triumph couldn’t have come at a better moment, as the seven-time NBA champions attempt to get their season back on track.

The Warriors, who were devastated earlier this month by the loss of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, are 12th in the Western Conference standings with a 20-24 record.

“It’s been an emotional ride for the whole team this year,” Curry remarked following the victory. “We’ve talked about the self-inflicted wounds – we lost games we should have won, had some off-the-court issues in our family, and are dealing with them.

“So there’s always a feeling of desperation for us. The feelings are as positive as they can be, but it’s just nice to have a night like tonight where we win, go over the hump, and return to the locker room with something to grin about.”

On Tuesday, the Boston Celtics held off a fierce second-half rally to overcome the Indiana Pacers 129-124, while the Los Angeles Lakers suffered another crushing setback.

The Celtics, who lead the NBA Eastern Conference, cruised to a 20-point first-half advantage at TD Garden against a Pacers side reinforced by Tyrese Haliburton’s return.

However, Indiana came alive in the third quarter, outscoring Boston 37-25 to briefly take the lead before the Celtics reclaimed control of the game and sealed the victory in the fourth.

Jayson Tatum led the Boston offense with 30 points, but it was the power forward’s defensive brilliance that helped the team secure its league-best 37th victory of the season.

Tatum made two key blocks down the stretch to keep Indiana from tying the game.

In other games, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a crushing defeat, falling 138-122 on the road in Atlanta.

The Hawks’ strong offense dominated the Lakers for the second night in a row, defeating them 135-119 in Houston on Monday.

Trae Young finished with 26 points, including six three-pointers, while Dejounte Murray had 24.

Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 18 points off the bench, going 4-of-9 from three.

The Lakers, who are missing Anthony Davis, are now 24-25 and seventh in the Western Conference standings.

LeBron James, the Lakers’ star player, couldn’t disguise his rage following his team’s latest humiliating setback.

“We can on any given night beat any team in the NBA — and then on any given night we can get our ass kicked by any team in the NBA,” he remarked. “That’s where we are.”

In other games on Tuesday, the New York Knicks extended their recent winning run to eight games with a 118-103 win over the Utah Jazz, led by Donte DiVincenzo’s 33 points and nine three-pointers.

In Chicago, the Toronto Raptors overcame a 16-point first-half deficit to overcome the Bulls 118-107.
