Orlando Magic Grades: Orlando Magic 103, Golden State Warriors 96
The Orlando Magic were left for dead after another frustrating third quarter. Then they fought back and scored the biggest upset of their season.
The third quarter Golden State Warriors had arrived to steamroll the Orlando Magic. Their defense was devastating and choked off the Magic’s ability to create good shots and drive into the paint. They could not set anything up or get the free-flowing offense that staked them an eight-point lead.
DeMarcus Cousins turned a turnover into a coast-to-coast fast break as he awoke to bully Nikola Vucevic on the block. Then it was Stephen Curry‘s turn, picking up from his first quarter barrage to twist the Magic defense again.
