Steph Curry scored 41 points, including a decisive three-point play in overtime, as the Golden State Warriors beat the Orlando Magic 126-119 on Saturday night for their seventh consecutive win.

The Magic had a chance to tie the game with 1:15 left, but Wendell Carter Jr. missed both free throws. Curry then helped the Warriors protect their lead as they improved to 7-3.
Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg contributed 23 points and eight rebounds, while Brandin Podziemski scored 15. Draymond Green recorded a season-high 13 assists for Golden State, which started the season 0-3 before putting together its longest winning streak since March 3-15, 2025.
