Most of the Warriors starters had checked out of the game the 4:25 mark in the third with the team leading by 22.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Evan Fournier scored 24 points and Aaron Gordon had 19 points and 14 rebounds as the Orlando Magic snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 119-114 win over the Boston Celtics.

Guard Stephen Curry added 23 points for Golden State, and forward Draymond Green finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.

“If the gods delivered what should have happened, we probably should have lost because that’s what happens when you mess around with the game and the ball”, Kerr said, according to the Associated Press.

“For us to be down 24 and find a way at home to not roll over, not be all caught up in the moment and find a way to give something back to our fans – who are fantastic – is a great thing for our young team”, coach Brett Brown said. Green quickly found Barnes on the right baseline for the game-winner. With Jerami Grant driving in the paint against Draymond Green, Grant made a nifty spin move to find a wide open Nerlens Noel. And for evidence, just listen to some of what the National Basketball Association champs had to say after their narrow escape.

Ellis missed a 3-pointer with the game tied at 99 as regulation ended, but converted a three-point play with 20.4 seconds left in overtime to seal it. They seemed on cruise control until Philadelphia’s stunning rally. Curry hit three 3-pointers Sunday, adding to his own record for most 3-pointers in a month (81).

PORTLAND, Ore. – CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard scored 21 points apiece, and the Portland Trail Blazers handed the Minnesota Timberwolves their 11th straight road loss.

The 76ers will face one of their biggest challenges of the season on Saturday night when they welcome the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors to the Center.

Curry’s presence brought many unusual sights to the 76ers’ home court.

What will it take for the Knicks to avoid the latter in that scenario?

“This is an era that we should relish and take advantage of, because it’s not always going to be like this”, Kerr said after the team’s 116-95 win against the New York Knicks on Sunday.
