While the Sixers are quietly observing in the background in the early stages of trade deadline week, the rival Boston Celtics have already made a move.

The Sixers took advantage of good luck and beat the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. The trade deadline comes next.

For the first 24 minutes of Tuesday's contest, the Golden State Warriors battled the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. In the second quarter, the Sixers stretched their early lead to 15 points. However, the Warriors closed the second quarter strong, trimming the Sixers' advantage to only three at the halftime buzzer.

The Sixers responded to an aggressive defensive game plan from the Golden State Warriors by giving the ball to VJ Edgecombe, and he delivered a masterpiece on the second night of a back-to-back, powering the Sixers to their fifth straight win.
