Orlando hosted a game Wednesday but it was Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors who were Magic. In back to back games on the road, the Warriors beat Miami and Orlando. In those two games Steph Curry scored a total of 93 points, and broke the consecutive game record for at least one 3 pointer. On Wednesday he had 10. The Warriors have won 3 of 4 games on this road trip since the All Star Break.
His ten included another half court shot at the buzzer. He does that so often it's like going to a Giants game in one of Barry Bonds record homer years--if you didn't see him hit one, you might feel cheated. Now if you're lucky enough to get into a Golden State game, if you don't see Curry make a half court shot during the game, you might be disappointed. But if you got there early, you certainly saw him make a few in warm-ups.
After they beat the Clippers, the LA Times sportswriter contrasted the two locker rooms. The Clippers being tentative and a bit fractious. But the Warriors, he wrote, don't just all like each other, they love each other.
That doesn't happen very often. Which is part of this year's Golden State Magic. 52-5, on their way to Oklahoma Saturday. Then home.
