Stephen Curry scored 41 points, including 17 in the final seven minutes, to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 126-119 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic. This marked Curry's 16th 40-point game since turning 35, surpassing LeBron James and Michael Jordan for the most in NBA history. Coach Steve Kerr praised Curry's longevity as "remarkable," citing his work ethic and conditioning.
The Warriors, coming off an 0-3 start, secured their seventh consecutive win, becoming only the second team in NBA history to follow an 0-3 start with a seven-game winning streak, joining the 1950-51 Boston Celtics. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg contributed 23 points, while Charles Bassey provided key backup support in overtime.
