Orlando Magic vs. Golden State Warriors 101-93

The Orlando Magic faced off against the Golden State Warriors in a thrilling matchup that ended with a final score of 101-93. The game was filled with intense moments and impressive plays from both teams.

The Magic started off strong, taking an early lead in the first quarter. However, the Warriors fought back hard in the second quarter, closing the gap and making it a close game heading into halftime.

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.

Orlando (42-29) will get that opportunity on Wednesday when it faces off with 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.

A night after holding Miami to 92 points in a win, the Warriors held Orlando to 93. Playing mostly without Green and entirely without the injured 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.
