Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry delivered a breathtaking 56-point performance, sinking 12 three-pointers to propel his team to a 121-115 comeback victory over the Orlando Magic on Thursday night, MySportDab Reports.
Curry’s heroics helped the Warriors erase a 17-point deficit, with the four-time NBA champion setting the tone by drilling a halfcourt three-pointer at the halftime buzzer to trim Orlando’s lead to 66-52.
The two-time MVP dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Magic 22-21 on his own. He finished just two three-pointers shy of Klay Thompson’s record of 14 in a single game, set in 2018.
Curry’s latest scoring explosion marked his 14th career 50-point game and his 26th with at least 10 three-pointers.
Shooting with remarkable efficiency, Curry made 12 of his 19 three-point attempts and was a perfect 12-for-12 from the free-throw line. He also contributed four rebounds, three assists, and two steals.
“It never gets old,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “Even Magic fans knew they were witnessing the greatest shooter ever.”
Despite a stellar 41-point effort from Orlando’s Paolo Banchero, the Warriors surged ahead by 12 points in the third quarter. The Magic fought back to within two late in the game, but another clutch three from Curry sealed the win.
“I’m just blessed to play this game and enjoy the competition,” Curry said. “It took all those points, but also a collective resilience from our team.”
With this victory, the Warriors strengthened their playoff push, fueled by yet another unforgettable performance from their legendary sharpshooter.
