This was a game even theGolden State Warriorsfelt they should have lost.
Harrison Barnes hit a 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining, and Golden State escaped with a 108-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
Klay Thompson had 32 points, and Stephen Curry scored 23 for the Warriors, who nearly blew a 24-point second-half lead. Draymond Green added 10 points and 13 rebounds for Golden State, which opened a three-game road trip with its sixth straight victory while matching the NBA's best start through 47 games.
It ties the 1966-67 76ers, who also won 43 of their first 47 games.
"If the gods delivered what should have happened, we probably should have lost because that's what happens when you mess around with the game and the ball," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
Isaiah Canaan had 18 points to lead the 76ers, who dropped to 7-41 but nearly pulled off the most improbable victory of the NBA season.
"It shows we have no letdown, no backdown," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said.
Philadelphia trailed by double-digits for most of the second half, until a late 15-2 run tied the game at 105 with 22.3 seconds left. The Warriors won when Curry passed inside to Green, who fired outside to Barnes on the right baseline.
"We kind of went into it knowing they were going to trap Steph, so whoever it was that got the ball tried to make a play," Barnes said. "[Green] made that kick to the corner. I just let it ride."
