NBA Preview: Magic vs. Warriors

The Orlando Magic (27-34) will travel Oracle Arena to face off against the league best Golden State Warriors (55-6). The Warriors are undefeated at home this year going 26-0 and will look to bounce back after stunning loss last night to the Los Angles Lakers  112-95. The Warriors have not lost back-to-back games this season and will look to break the NBA home game winning streak. The Dubs will attempt to break the  1995-96 Chicago Bulls record with a 45th straight home victory against the Magic.

Neither @warriors or @spurs have lost back-to-back games this season. No team in NBA history has gone a full season w/out losing B2B games.

The Magic are 10-18 away from home, and lost their previous game against the Phoenix Suns 102-84. That win supplied the Suns their first road win in almost three months. The Magic back court of Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo will  look to slow down the All-Star duo of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Curry and Thompson went a combined 1-18 from 3 last night. The Warriors did not have a 20 point scorer for the first time since November 26. Curry completed the game with 18 points on 6-of-20 shooting and missed nine of 10 3-pointers.

In the only previous match up of the year, Curry dropped 51 points against Orlando. The Magic are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and are 4-6 in the last 10games. Magic center Nikola Vucevic believes the team feels good about the way the Magic have played in its last extended western road trip.
