Ben Simmons has celebrated in style after being named a NBA All-Star for the first time, leading Philadelphia to their first win in six years over Golden State.
The 76ers snapped a 10-game losing streak against the Warriors dating back to March 2013 with the 113-104 triumph in Oakland.
Second-year star Simmons had a superb all-round game on Thursday, tallying 26 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals.
"I try to stay calm and try to stay composed," he said.
Earlier in the day, Simmons was included on the bench in the Eastern Conference team for the February 17 All-Star game in Charlotte.
The 22-year-old Australian was controversially overlooked for an All-Star berth in his rookie year, but was impossible to ignore this time.
"It's just being more confident and trying to expand my game," he said after the win over Golden State.
"Taking care of the ball - that's about it; just getting comfortable."
Superstar centre Joel Embiid also had a huge game against the Warriors with 26 points and 20 rebounds, while Australian Jonah Bolden continued his impressive rookie campaign with eight points and five rebounds off the bench.
"It's a fantastic win. This group - myself included - we have not beaten Golden State," 76ers coach Brett Brown said.
Stephen Curry had a game-high 41 points, including 10 three-pointers, for the Warriors, who lost for the first time in 11 games.
