                   === Holiday leads Sixers past Warriors ===
 
 Philadelphia,  PA (Sports Network) - Jrue Holiday had 27 points, seven assists
 and  four steals as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Golden State Warriors,
 104-97, on Saturday.
 
 Evan  Turner  nearly recorded a triple-double  with 22 points, 10 rebounds and
 nine  assists for  the  76ers,  who snapped  a  season-high seven-game  losing
 streak.  Royal  Ivey scored 17 points  on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting, including
 four  made  3-pointers, while Thaddeus Young  recorded 14 points and a career-
 high 16 rebounds.
 
 "It's  cool,  I think  we had a  great game  as a unit,"  said Turner. "It was
 great, hopefully it builds momentum."
 
 Stephen  Curry  scored a game-high 30  points and dished out eight assists for
 the  Warriors, who  have  lost four  straight games.  Klay  Thompson added  29
 points and David Lee registered 13 points and 16 rebounds in the setback.
 
 Tied at 94-94 with 3:15 remaining in regulation, Young made a layup to start a
 10-3  run to finish the game. Holiday scored the final four points to seal the
 victory.
 
 "We  got  away from what we  are," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson afterward.
 "We made mistakes, let go of the rope and paid the price. We were bad."
 
 Entering the second quarter, the Warriors had a 31-20 lead.
 
 However,  the  76ers bounced back  thanks in large  part to Dorell Wright, who
 recorded 11 points and five rebounds off the bench during the period.
 
 By halftime, Philadelphia closed the gap to three, 54-51.
 
 Golden  State opened up the third quarter by outscoring Philadelphia by a 12-5
 margin  and had  a 66-56 advantage with  7:01 left to play. Thompson scored 12
 points during the span, including three treys.
 
 Philadelphia  would  not be  deterred, though, as  they outscored Golden State
 17-7  over  the next  4 1/2  minutes. A  Turner layup  with 2:39  to go in the
 quarter tied the game at 73-73.
 
 After a pair of made free throws by Golden State's Carl Landry, Turner fired a
 15-footer  and Arnett  Moultrie dunked off an alley-oop pass by Turner to give
 the 76ers the lead, 77-75, with 1:48 left in the third.
 
 A 3-point play by Curry gave Golden State the lead one last time before Ivey's
 jumper with 1:23 remaining gave Philadelphia a 79-78 edge.
 
 Entering the fourth quarter, the 76ers had an 82-81 edge.
 
                                   Game Notes
