The Orlando Magic secured a decisive victory over the Golden State Warriors with a final score of 101-93. This game showcased the Magic's strong offensive capabilities and solid defensive play, as they were able to outscore and outmaneuver their opponents throughout the entire match.
The Magic's star players, including Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross, delivered impressive performances on both ends of the court. Vucevic dominated in the paint with his scoring and rebounding abilities, while Ross showcased his shooting prowess from beyond the arc.
Over that time frame, they’ve not only racked up six Western Conference titles, but also an astounding four NBA championships.
So, for a young and upcoming team that currently lacks postseason experience, there’s arguably no better test to prepare for the postseason than getting the chance to go head-to-head with the battle-tested Warriors.
Golden State (37-34) at Kia Center at 7 p.m. ET.
On the other hand, the Magic's defense is very good. They are ranked third in the league for the fewest points per game at 108.8, which shows that they can make it hard for other teams to score. Even so, the Magic have trouble in scoring, their 110.8 points per game rank them 26th in the NBA league.
Rebounding and steals are two areas where both teams thrive; the Warriors are the best in terms of rebounds per game while the Magic are the best in terms of steals per game.
Curry made a driving hook shot with 1:09 to go and added a 3-pointer with 34 seconds left for the final points. He had 17 points - going 6 of 18 from the field - and 10 assists.
 Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State had a 52-39 rebounding edge to overcome poor shooting with the exception of Wiggins.
The Warriors, holding the 10th spot in the Western Conference, won for the 20th time in 35 road games. They are 18-19 at home, and could become only the second team in NBA history to finish with a winning record overall, and a losing record at home. The Brooklyn Nets did it in 2021-22.
In the end, it was the Magic who emerged victorious, securing a hard-fought win over the Warriors. This game showcased the talent and determination of both teams, making it an exciting matchup for fans to watch.
