‘Remarkable’ Curry passes LeBron with 16th late-career 40-piece

Stephen Curry scored 41 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 126-119 overtime victory against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Curry scored 17 points across the final seven minutes of regulation and overtime. The performance marked his 16th 40-point game since turning 35, surpassing LeBron James and Michael Jordan for the most in NBA history.

Orlando overcame a 16-point deficit to force overtime on a late Jamal Cain tip-in. Warriors reserves Yaxel Lendeborg and Charles Bassey contributed crucial points to start overtime before Curry returned to secure the win. The victory extended Golden State's winning streak to seven consecutive games following an 0-3 start.
