The Golden State Warriors extended their impressive winning streak to seven games on Saturday night, outlasting the Orlando Magic in a 126-119 overtime thriller at the Chase Center. Stephen Curry spearheaded the effort, delivering a vintage performance that saw him finish with 41 points on 13-of-19 shooting. The veteran guard, who also recorded six rebounds and six assists, proved instrumental in the closing moments of the contest.
With the game tied and regulation winding down, the contest shifted into an intense overtime period. Curry continued to exert his influence, converting a crucial three-point play with 1:38 remaining to give the Warriors a definitive edge. He followed that effort with a layup in the final minute to seal the victory, an “effort that solidified his reputation as a clutch performer.”
The Magic mounted a significant challenge, rallying from a 16-point halftime deficit to briefly take the lead in the fourth quarter. Franz Wagner paced Orlando with 30 points and 11 assists, while teammates Tristan da Silva and Wendell Carter Jr. each contributed 19 points. Despite their efforts, the Magic could not overcome Curry’s late-game surge. The Warriors also received a notable contribution from rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, who added 23 points and eight rebounds, while Draymond Green facilitated the offense with a season-high 13 assists.
This victory marks a significant turnaround for Golden State, which began the season with an 0-3 record. The team has now achieved its longest winning streak since March 2025. For Curry, the performance added another milestone to his storied career, as he became the seventh player in NBA history to reach 26,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, and 6,000 assists. His ability to maintain such high-level production at age 38 remains a focal point for the team as they continue their climb in the standings. The Warriors look to maintain this momentum as they prepare for their upcoming schedule.
