The Sixers grabbed 24 offensive rebounds for a 55-34 advantage on the boards and scored 15 points off the Warriors' 20 turnovers.
Philadelphia's second bus arrived only about 75 minutes before tipoff because of Bay Area traffic, but coach Nick Nurse was unconcerned about his team having a prolonged warmup since it was the second game of a back-to-back. The Sixers beat the Clippers 128-113 on Monday.
Curry exited early from Golden State's 131-124 loss to Detroit on Friday because of the troublesome knee. Forward Jonathan Kuminga, whose future with the franchise remains uncertain, sat out his fifth straight game with a bone bruise in his left knee.
Gui Santos and Pat Spencer scored 13 points apiece and Moses Moody added 12 for the Warriors, who lost a third straight game at home.
With Golden State trailing 16-9 early, Draymond Green and Al Horford hit consecutive 3-pointers midway through the first quarter on which they both assisted for the other. Golden State hit eight 3s in the opening period and shot 12 for 19 overall (63.2%). Horford had 10 points playing through foul trouble.
