Warriors 103, Magic 89: Stephen Curry had 23 points as Golden State rolled past visiting Orlando for its 12th win in 16 games.
David Lee added 20 points and 10 rebounds and Klay Thompson also scored 20 for the Warriors, who remained 1 1/2 games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for fifth place in the Western Conference. Marreese Speights chipped in with 13 points and eight boards in a reserve role.
Nikola Vucevic's 15 points led the Magic, who scored just 39 points in the second and third quarters en route to their sixth straight loss. Tobias Harris added 14 points while Maurice Harkless contributed 12.
Curry and Thompson combined to more than double Golden State's 10-point halftime lead in short order, knocking down two 3-pointers apiece early in the third as the Warriors broke out to a 75-51 advantage. Thompson connected from deep with 2:17 remaining in the period as the Warriors led 87-66 entering the fourth, and Lee effectively put the game away on a putback with 5:13 left after Orlando had opened the final period on a 15-5 run.
Golden State held a 30-27 lead after one quarter, and extended it to seven points on a Speights putback of a Thompson miss. Curry went to work later in the period, setting up Harrison Barnes and Lee baskets while making two of his own in between to propel the Warriors to a 57-47 halftime advantage.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Warriors were without starting SF Andre Iguodala (knee tendinitis) and C Andrew Bogut (sprained ankle). Head coach Mark Jackson told reporters prior to tip-off that Iguodala would miss at least the next three games. ... Curry, Thompson and PG Steve Blake combined to go 10-for-16 from 3-point range, while the rest of the Warriors went 0-for-11. ... The Warriors improved to 24-8 in games decided by 10 or more points.
