    The Golden State Warriors (32-27) secured a 121-115 victory over the Orlando Magic (29-32) on Thursday, February 27, 2025. The game was highlighted by an outstanding performance from Stephen Curry, who led the Warriors with 56 points, including 12 three-pointers.

    Curry's remarkable night featured a buzzer-beating half-court shot to end the first half, igniting a third-quarter surge where he added 22 points, turning a 14-point deficit into a five-point lead. This marks Curry's 14th career 50-point game and his third with 12 or more three-pointers.

    Quinten Post contributed 18 points off the bench, while Draymond Green recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Warriors have now won five consecutive games and seven of their last eight, positioning themselves seventh in the Western Conference standings.

    Despite a valiant effort, the Magic couldn't contain Curry's offensive onslaught. Paolo Banchero led Orlando with 41 points, and Franz Wagner added 27 points. The Magic held a 17-point lead at halftime, but Curry's explosive performance proved too much to overcome.

    Warriors head coach Steve Kerr praised Curry's performance, stating, "It never gets old watching."

    The Warriors will look to continue their winning streak as they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, March 1. Meanwhile, the Magic aim to rebound when they host the Miami Heat on the same day.
