San Francisco, California – Stephen Curry continues to amaze basketball fans with his outstanding performances. In the recent game against the Orlando Magic, Curry lit up the court with 56 points and 12 3-pointers, setting a season-high for himself. While he fell just shy of breaking Klay Thompson’s single-game record of 14 3-pointers, Curry’s buzzer-beater from behind the logo to end the first half was a highlight of the night.
Despite starting off slow, Curry quickly shifted the momentum in favor of the Golden State Warriors after the Magic built a 17-point lead in the second quarter. His explosive scoring spree, including a 30-9 run out of halftime, propelled the Warriors to a 121-115 victory. Curry’s performance was not just impressive for the night but also placed him in the record books with his 45th game of at least nine 3-pointers and his ninth 50-point game since turning 30, the most in NBA history.
Alongside Curry, Jimmy Butler’s solid contributions to the team have been vital in the Warriors’ recent success, with their fifth consecutive win and seventh in eight games with Butler in the lineup. Despite scoring only five points in the game against the Magic, Butler’s playmaking abilities and defensive prowess have complemented Curry’s scoring prowess effectively. The Warriors’ decision to trade for Butler has paid off, adding another dimension to their roster.
Looking ahead, the Warriors have a favorable schedule that could extend their winning streak as they face the Philadelphia 76ers and the Charlotte Hornets before a challenging matchup against the New York Knicks on March 4. With Curry in top form and the team clicking on all cylinders, the Warriors are proving to be a formidable force in the league, showcasing their potential for a successful season. Curry’s incredible display of skill and the team’s strong chemistry are setting the stage for an exciting journey in the NBA.
