"Not even another magical Steph Curry performance at Orlando's Kia Center was enough Tuesday to propel the Warriors to a fourth consecutive victory. After scoring 56 points on the Magic in his last visit to Orlando in February, Steph Curry scored 22 of his 34 points in the first half. It moved him to No. 22 on the all-time scoring list, surpassing Vince Carter (25,728). But that was not enough as the Magic won 121-113, snapping the Warriors' winning streak at three games."
"Playing their 17th game in 28 days, Golden State faced an Orlando squad that was missing star Paolo Banchero (groin), who was sidelined for a third game in a row. Missing their All-Star did not seem to have any adverse effect on the Orlando offense. Led by Franz Wagner (18 points), the Magic got whatever shot they wanted inside, scoring 64 in the paint while also shooting 29 free throws and running free for 28 transition points off 18 Warriors turnovers."
"The Warriors played a zone with Green inside and Gary Payton II roaming in the middle midway through the second quarter, helping spur a run that cut a 15-point deficit to just 67-60 at halftime. After surrendering a 6-0 run begin the second half, the Warriors cut it back to a five-point deficit with a 10-2 run of their own. The Warriors remained within striking distance throughout the second half, getting within five early in the fourth, but could never quite find the final push."
Steph Curry scored 34 points, including 22 in the first half, and moved to No. 22 on the all-time scoring list by surpassing Vince Carter (25,728). Orlando beat Golden State 121-113, ending the Warriors' three-game winning streak. Orlando played without Paolo Banchero but still produced 64 points in the paint, attempted 29 free throws and generated 28 transition points off 18 Warriors turnovers. Franz Wagner had 18 points, Bane led the Magic with 23 and reserve Anthony Black scored 21. Draymond Green had 12 points and recorded his 900th career block. Late-game altercations and missed opportunities prevented a Golden State comeback.
