Steph Curry scored a season high 56 points, making 12 three-pointers, to lead the Warriors in a 121-115 win over the Magic. Aside from Curry, Rookie Center Quinten Post came of the bend and added 18 points and 5 rebounds. Jimmy Butler scored 5 points, his least productive game as a Warrior, but added 4 rebounds and 7 assists.
Quinten Post provided a spark last night.

This was a great win by Warriors, after being down as much as 17 points in the 1st half, they manage to build a 5 point lead in the 3rd by scoring 40 points in the period, while holding the Magic to just 21 points. Curry had 22 points in the third quarter. This will be Warriors’ seventh win in eight games since acquiring Jimmy Butler in a trade on Feb. 6.
Paolo Banchero scored 41 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and Franz Wagner added 27 points for the Magic but that 18 turnover by Orlando kept the Warriors in the game and eventually cost them the game.
Warriors will visit Philadelphia Saturday night, while the Magic will host the Raptors on Sunday.
