Curry's deep three-pointer cut the Magic halftime lead to 12, as Orlando was led by star forward Paolo Banchero with 24 first-half points. The Warriors have improved to 31-27 on the season and sit in eighth place in the Western Conference, but a win over the Magic and a Timberwolves loss to the Lakers will move Golden State into seventh.

Stephen Curry scored a season-high 56 points, making 12 3-pointers and outscoring Orlando by himself in the third quarter of another astounding performance, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 121-115 victory over the Magic on Thursday night.

In the latest, Curry put the Warriors on his back with a 56-point gem in which he poured in a dozen 3-pointers. He had the Kia Center in Orlando giving him M-V-P chants even as their hometown star, Paolo Banchero, dropped 41.
