Mon Mar 03 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## 76ers Snap Losing Streak with Grimes’ Career Night, Curry’s Rare Dunk
**Philadelphia, PA** – Quentin Grimes exploded for a career-high 44 points, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a thrilling 126-119 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. The win snapped a nine-game losing streak for the 76ers, their first victory since February 4th.
The game featured a memorable moment when Stephen Curry, playing for the Warriors, recorded his first dunk in six years. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome Grimes’ dominant performance, who took charge offensively as teammates Paul George and Tyrese Maxey struggled. Grimes scored 12 points in a crucial seven-minute stretch of the third quarter, extending Philadelphia’s lead to 15 points.
Curry finished with 29 points and 13 assists for the Warriors, who had a five-game winning streak snapped. Other notable performances included Kelly Oubre Jr.’s 20 points for Philadelphia, Guerschon Yabusele’s 18 points, and Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga’s 16 points and Gary Payton II’s 15.
The 76ers played without Joel Embiid, who was recently ruled out for the season with a knee injury. Despite the absence of their star center and the struggles of Maxey and George, Philadelphia’s supporting cast stepped up to secure the crucial win.
Both teams return to action on Monday; the Warriors face the Charlotte Hornets, while the 76ers host the Portland Trail Blazers.
