ORLANDO, Fla. -- Continuing a recent trend this season, the Warriors did just enough to lose.
This time, the 100-96 defeat came at the hands of the Orlando Magic. Against the NBA's worst offense, Golden State (4-16) participated in a relatively low scoring affair, as Orlando (8-11) reached the 100-point mark on a free throw with 0.4 seconds remaining in the game.
However, the Warriors showed heart, overcoming a 12-point deficit to take a brief 89-88 lead in the fourth quarter before the Magic recaptured the advantage and held on the final seconds.
The loss marks Golden State's second straight loss, as the league's worst team continues to search for an identity amid myriad injuries to its core.
