Andrew Wiggins ended the Orlando Magic’s night early, scoring 25 points and Stephen Curry added 24 points as the Golden State Warriors overcame a slow start to defeat the Magic 104-99 on Monday night.
Wiggins shot 7 of 14 from the field and made 10 free throws to pass Chris Mullin for seventh on Golden State’s all-time 3-pointers list. Moses Moody added 17 points, while rookie center Quinten Post had seven points and seven rebounds in his third straight start.
Orlando’s Cole Anthony led all scorers with 26 points and had five rebounds. Franz Wagner put up 21 points and five assists and Paolo Banchero finished with 18 points as the Magic lost for the 11th time in 13 games.
Orlando dominated most of the first half by capitalizing on Golden State’s early struggles. The Warriors, however, found their rhythm late in the second quarter and carried that momentum into the second half. Draymond Green, returning from a seven-game injury absence, provided a spark with four points, seven rebounds and five assists.
