Curry Leads Warriors Past Magic in Overtime

Golden State edged Orlando 124-119 in overtime at Chase Center on November 7, earning its eighth straight win. The tightly contested game featured 10 lead changes and 14 ties. The Magic, now 2-7, lost for the fourth time in a row.

Stephen Curry scored 41 points for the Warriors, continuing a run of strong long-range shooting. He has made at least five three-pointers in five consecutive games and scored 40 points twice this season.

Orlando struggled to find its shot early, missing 13 of its first 17 attempts and falling behind by as many as 15 points in the first quarter. The Magic improved after halftime, shooting 48.1% from the field and 9-for-23 from three-point range. Franz Wagner led Orlando with 30 points, shooting 11-for-21 and making three three-pointers.

The Magic stayed in the game by forcing 18 turnovers and collecting 23 offensive rebounds, finishing with advantages of 18 points off turnovers and 31 second-chance points. Jamal Cain added 18 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, while Wendell Carter Jr. recorded 19 points and 11 rebounds. Cain’s putback of a Carter miss late in regulation sent the game to overtime.

Orlando’s improved second-half shooting was not enough to secure the win. Carter missed three free throws in the closing stretch, and the Magic could not capitalize in overtime.
