Steph Curry scored 51 points and made 10 three pointers in a Golden State Warriors 130-114 victory over the Orlando Magic Thursday night.

A night after scoring 42 in a six-point victory at Miami, Curry made 20 of 27 shots, including 10 of 15 3-pointers. The Warriors pulled away in the closing minutes of the third quarter, with his bank shot putting the defending NBA champions up 99-91.

Curry scored 24 in the third quarter. He sat out the first six minutes of the fourth, added a 3 and a layup down the stretch and also finished with eight assists and seven rebounds as the Warriors weathered a quiet night from backcourt mate Klay Thompson, who had nine points on 4-of-10 shooting.

Marreese Speights had 14 points and Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut 12 apiece.

Evan Fournier led Orlando with 20 points. Aaron Gordon matched his career high with 19. Victor Oladipo added 14 points.
