76ers come back from 24-point deficit, only to lose on a Harrison Barnes game-winner

Barnes ruined what would have been an epic comeback.

The 76ers were so close to pulling off a huge upset. Isaiah Canaan completed a four-point play when they were down six with 40 second to go and then stole the ball to allow Ish Smith to tie it with 22 seconds to go. The worst team in the league came back from a 24-point deficit and only needed one stop to take the best team in the league to overtime.

Alas, it was all for nothing. The Warriors ran one of their patented plays. The 76ers tried to trap Stephen Curry, but he passed to Draymond Green, who worked the 4-on-3 to find an open shooter. Harrison Barnes hit the corner shot and Golden State won. Still, good effort, 76ers.
