Stephen Curry delivered yet another breathtaking performance, torching the Orlando Magic for a season-high 56 points in the Golden State Warriors’ 121-115 win on Thursday night. Draining 12 three-pointers, Curry outscored Orlando by himself in the third quarter, igniting a furious Warriors comeback. His latest masterpiece secured Golden State’s fifth straight victory, reinforcing their resurgence in the Western Conference.

Curry was nearly unstoppable, going 16-of-25 from the field, 12-for-19 from beyond the arc, and perfect on 12 free throws. His 26th career game with at least 10 threes extended his NBA record, leaving fans in awe. “Even Magic fans know they’re witnessing the greatest shooter ever,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It’s not just the shots, it’s his fluidity, his movement, and his audacity.”

The Warriors trailed by 17 in the first half before Curry shifted the momentum with a half-court buzzer-beater. He then erupted for 22 points in the third, single-handedly outscoring Orlando 22-21 and pushing Golden State ahead. With Curry resting, the Warriors’ defense held the Magic scoreless for the first three minutes of the fourth, stretching their lead to 12.

Supporting Curry, Quinten Post contributed 18 points off the bench, including 10 straight in the second quarter. Draymond Green added 12 points and 10 rebounds, while newly acquired Jimmy Butler struggled, managing just five points on 1-of-7 shooting.

Paolo Banchero fought to keep Orlando in the game with 41 points, while Franz Wagner chipped in 27. But in the end, Curry’s brilliance proved too much, cementing yet another unforgettable night in his legendary career.
