PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Kelenna Azubuike made the Golden StateWarriors' road trip the most successful one in quite some time.

Azubuike hit a go-ahead 3-pointer from the corner with sixseconds remaining in the extra period and Baron Davis scored 14of his 22 points after halftime to power the Warriors to a100-98 overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

With the win, Golden State went 4-1 - losing only to the BostonCeltics - during a five-game road trip through the EasternConference.


It was the most successful road trip for the Warriors sincegoing 5-0 from October 29-November 4, 1978. The winning stretchrepresents a drastic departure from the Warriors' 0-6 start tothe season.


"We had the bad start, but we've come back and have given theteam some life," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "We're stillnot hitting on all cylinders. We need to have a couple moreguys to step (up) and keep things going."


"We needed to come out tonight playing hard and leave with awin," Warriors forward Stephen Jackson said. "Starting 1-6, weput ourselves in a big hole. We are starting to dig out of thishole, especially with this road trip."


Following a jumper from Jackson to give Golden State a 95-94lead, Andre Miller answered with a jumper with 41 seconds leftin overtime to give the Sixers a 96-95 advantage.


After a Warriors' timeout, Davis drove through the right side ofthe lane and hit an incredible hanging reverse layup to helpGolden State retake the lead with 13 seconds left.

"I was just going to the hole all night and looking forcontact," Davis said. "I was trying to lay the ball up and itwent in. Those were just big shots and it was fun. It was afun game to be apart of."


Andre Iguodala hit a jumper of his own after Sixers' timeout toput Philadelphia up 98-97.


Following yet another Warriors' timeout after which Azubuike didnot know he was actually one of the five players that wassupposed to be on the court, he nailed a 3-pointer from the leftcorner.


"I was struggling the whole game," Azubuike said. "I justwanted to try and knock it down and thank goodness it went in."

"I was going to be ready if it did come to me," Azubuike said."The play was set up to where, if Baron gets it, he (tries) tocreate something. If he draws two people and he can't shoot it,you just try to get open and knock it down."


"The play was for me," Davis said. "I had the isolation and Iseen (Azubuike) open. I'll always try to make the right playand not force the shot. I wanted to get into the paint and drawsomebody, and that's what it was."


Davis then stole the ball from Louis Williams with about asecond remaining to thwart the Sixers' final opportunity to winthe game.


"I thought I got fouled but I'm not the guy blowing thewhistle." Williams said. "We had plenty of chances to win thegame (but) a couple of things just didn't go our way."

Monta Ellis tied a career high with 31 points and Azubuikescored 10 and pulled down 10 rebounds for the Warriors.

Trailing, 57-45, at the start of the second half, the Warriorsbegan the third quarter with a 15-2 run as Davis and Elliscombined for 13 points to take a 60-59 lead three minutes intothe period.


The teams fought back and forth throughout the remainder of thequarter, with the Sixers taking a 76-75 advantage into the final12 minutes courtesy of Miller and Iguodala, who combined toscore 15 straight points during an eight-minute stretch.

Neither team could open up more than a four-point leadthroughout the fourth quarter. Philadelphia would hold GoldenState scoreless over the final minutes while Rodney Carneyscored on a dunk and Iguodala hit a pair of free throws to tiethe contest at 90-90.


Iguodala, who finished 26 points and 11 boards, missed anopportunity from about 15 feet away with one second remaining toend the game in regulation.


"We have to play hard and compete every night," Iguodala said."That's all we can do. We've been putting some good gamestogether. We have to put it together at the end of the game andget a win."
