Curry got a running start, took a couple dribbles and pulled up uncontested at midcourt, banking in the 44-footer to give the Warriors a 99-91 lead headed into the fourth quarter.

Evan Fournier led Orlando with 20 points. “I’m not. It’s just what he does”.
Curry notched his third 50-point game of the season, as he became the first Warriors player to have that many since Rick Barry in the 1973-74 season.

But Boston was able to beat back the threat thanks to some baskets late in the shot clock, and stops on the defensive end.
After the Warriors’ win over Orlando, Magic coach Scott Skiles told reporters he doesn’t see it ending anytime soon. Of course, that’s the team Golden State is chasing for one of the league’s most iconic marks.
As a lifetime Chicagoan, I have been a Bulls fan my entire life and, to be honest, I never thought their 1995-96 record of 72-10 would ever be broken. He added seven rebounds and eight assists.
