Stephen Curry goes off for 56, rallies Warriors past Magic

Stephen Curry ignited his own third-quarter explosion with a 50-footer at the halftime horn, then capped a 56-point performance with 11th and 12 3-pointers to protect a late lead that resulted in the Golden State Warriors’ 121-115 victory over the host Orlando Magic on Thursday night.

Curry’s 56 points were the fourth most of his career and his 12 3-pointers equaled his second most, helping the Warriors win their fifth in a row and their seventh in eight games since acquiring Jimmy Butler in a trade.

In the opener of a five-game trip, the Warriors trailed by 17 before Curry let fly from well beyond half court as the teams began heading to intermission. The shot swished, giving Curry 21 points in the half, but leaving the Warriors with a 66-52 deficit.

Quinten Post had 10 early points in the third quarter, but the period belonged mostly to Curry, who added 22 points to his total as the Warriors erupted for 40 to take a 92-87 lead.

Led by Paolo Banchero’s 41 points, the Magic got within 108-104 with 2:56 remaining and to 111-109 with 1:55 left. But Curry countered both times with 3-pointers, allowing Golden State to retain a lead the rest of the way.

Curry shot 16-for-25 overall, 12-for-19 on 3s and 12-for-12 at the free throw line. Outshot 50.6 percent to 45.6 percent overall, the Warriors prevailed on the strength of a 57-33 advantage in 3-point scoring and a 30-14 advantage at the foul line.

The 56 points were 18 more than Curry had scored in any previous game this season.

Post finished with 18 points off the bench, Draymond Green scored 12 to complete a double-double with a team-high 10 rebounds, and Moses Moody had 10 points for Golden State, which completed a season-series sweep of the Magic.

Butler shot 1-for-7 and totaled just five points, but did manage a game-high seven assists, four rebounds and two blocks.

Banchero, who had 24 of his points as part of the Magic’s first-half dominance, shot 16-for-27 overall and 4-for-10 on threes. His 41 points were his second-most this season.

He also found time for six rebounds, a team-high five assists and two steals for the Magic, who lost for the third time in four outings at the start of a seven-game homestand.

Franz Wagner backed Banchero with 27 points and Cole Anthony chipped in with 11, while Wendell Carter Jr. grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds to go with nine points and four assists.
