Steph Curry’s 56-Point Performance Leads Warriors to Thrilling Comeback Over Magic

Golden State’s second-half adjustments and Curry’s record night turned a 17-point deficit into a crucial victory.

Stephen Curry scored a season-high 56 points, including 12 three-pointers, to power the Golden State Warriors to a 121-115 win over the Orlando Magic.
The Warriors overcame a 17-point halftime deficit with a dominant third quarter, outscoring the Magic 40-21, fueled by Curry’s 22-point explosion in the period.
Head coach Steve Kerr’s decision to start rookie center Quinten Post in the second half helped neutralize Orlando’s size advantage and bolster Golden State’s defense.
Draymond Green’s defensive effort on Paolo Banchero limited the Magic star to 17 second-half points after a dominant 24-point first half.
The win moved the Warriors to seventh place in the Western Conference standings, while the Magic continue to struggle with third-quarter lapses and await the return of injured guard Jalen Suggs.
