Some will point to the Golden State Warriors' comeback win against the Sixers Tuesday night as a "slump buster."They'll note that the Warriors, who had lost three straight games heading into Tuesday's contest, found their offensive game late, erasing a 16-point deficit with 13:55 to play behind Stephen Curry's 12 points on 3-of-5 shooting from behind the arc.Curry's 3-point shot is back, so the Warriors must be back too, right?Nope.Golden State looked as flawed Tuesday in a victory as they had in some of their recent losses.It wasn't Curry, the back-to-back NBA MVP who pulled the Warriors over the finish line Tuesday, it was Draymond Green, who turned in a virtuoso fourth-quarter defensive performance, keeping the Sixers to 14 points in the final frame.It was Warriors coach Steve Kerr finally realizing that the way to score points is to make Jahlil Okafor defend a pick-and-roll.
