The Lead
The Orlando Magic started Thursday’s game against the Golden State Warriors with nine players, played with just eight nearly the whole way, none of whom were point guards, and yet they led by 11 in the third quarter and five in the fourth. In the end, though, Stephen Curry, arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history, was virtually unstoppable, burying 10 3-pointers as part of his 40-point performance in Golden State’s 111-105 victory at the Chase Center.
