It took a Harrison Barnes three-pointer with 0.2 left on the clock to secure the away win for the defending champion Warriors, who improved their season record to 43-4 while the 76ers slipped to 7-41. Okafor had missed the previous two games due to flu-like symptoms, and Golden State’s small, fast lineup made playing Noel and Okafor together more hard than usual.
