SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry delivered another statement performance Saturday, November 7, scoring 41 points as the Golden State Warriors outlasted the Orlando Magic 126-119 in overtime at Chase Center. Curry added six rebounds and six assists, pushing Golden State to its seventh consecutive victory after an 0-3 start. The 38-year-old guard also claimed a new NBA record: his 16th game with at least 40 points since turning 35, moving ahead of LeBron James.
Orlando erased a 16-point halftime deficit and forced overtime when Jamal Cain scored on a putback in the final seconds of regulation. With the game still in doubt, Curry converted a go-ahead three-point play with 1:38 left in the extra period, then scored another driving basket to create breathing room. Yaxel Lendeborg gave the Warriors a major lift with 23 points and eight rebounds, while Draymond Green finished with 13 assists. Franz Wagner led the Magic with 30 points and 11 assists.
The result matters beyond one spectacular stat line. Curry’s record-setting scoring and Golden State’s seven-game surge offer a fresh chapter after his 29-point outing against Miami earlier in the week. The Warriors found a way to win despite Orlando’s strong second-half rally and a huge disadvantage on the offensive glass. Curry remains their closer, and Saturday’s performance provided both an overtime victory and another entry in the NBA history books.
