"Steph Curry heated up after halftime and the Golden State Warriors cruised to a 120-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday at Chase Center. Curry scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half as Golden State turned a single-point advantage at intermission into a commanding second win in a row, only the second time since mid-November that the Warriors have strung wins together."
"Curry didn't sink his first shot from beyond the perimeter until nearly four minutes had expired in the second half. He followed it on the Warriors' next possession by taking his defender off the dribble, stepping back from 15 feet and sinking a fadeaway jumper. Moments later, he had his left hand on his hip and his right hand in the air, mimicking a lasso motion, as he gyrated, celebrating another 3-pointer that put them ahead 80-75."
"Green checked out of the game with 8:31 to go in the third quarter and did not return. He spent the remainder of the period in the locker room and returned to the bench at the start of the fourth quarter wearing a track suit. His substitution came after his first turnover of the night. The Warriors called timeout, and Green appeared to get into a back-and-forth with Kerr before team personnel ushered him into the tunnel."
Steph Curry scored 18 of his 26 points in the second half as the Golden State Warriors rallied from a one-point halftime edge to a 120-97 victory over the Orlando Magic.

Golden State forced 18 turnovers, including consecutive turnovers to close the third quarter, which helped build an 89-83 lead entering the fourth. Draymond Green exited with 8:31 remaining in the third, spent time in the locker room, and did not return.
