This performance allowed him to surpass LeBron James for the most such games in NBA history. Curry also maintained his efficiency, shooting 13-of-19 from the field during the contest. ## Overtime Battle in San Francisco The Warriors led by 16 points at halftime before Orlando surged with a 37-point third quarter. Jamal Cain forced overtime with a clutch tip-in with 1.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Ultimately, Curry and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg combined to score Golden State's final 12 points to secure the 126-119 victory. ## Rookie Contribution and Support Yaxel Lendeborg delivered a standout performance for Golden State, recording 23 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks. Draymond Green contributed a game-high 13 assists, while Brandin Podziemski and Georges Niang added 15 and 11 points respectively. Despite these efforts, the Warriors were outrebounded 24-3 on the offensive glass by Orlando. ## Orlando's Depleted Roster The Magic played without key contributors Desmond Bane, Paolo Banchero, Jonathan Isaac, and Jalen Suggs. Franz Wagner led the team with 30 points and 11 assists, while Tristan da Silva and Wendell Carter Jr. each added 19 points. Carter also secured 11 rebounds, including six on the offensive end. ## Turnaround After Difficult Start Golden State began the season with an 0-3 record, the worst start of Curry’s career, sparking speculation about the team's future. They have since rebounded to a 7-3 record, currently tied with the San Antonio Spurs for the longest active winning streak in the NBA at seven consecutive games. ## Strategic Roster Challenges The Warriors continue to navigate significant injury concerns, with Jimmy Butler sidelined until January and Moses Moody weeks away from returning. Despite these absences and questions regarding the team's age, the organization remains committed to winning now. The team currently sits in a tie for fifth in the Western Conference. ## Spurs Dominate Portland Blazers In a separate Saturday night matchup, Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio Spurs to a 125-103 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Wembanyama scored 29 points in just 24 minutes of play. Deni Avdija led Portland with 15 points, while Yang Hansen recorded his first career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. ## Looking Ahead to Monday Following their seventh consecutive win, the Warriors prepare to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Curry, who is currently 66-of-67 from the free-throw line this season, remains the focal point of the offense. The team aims to maintain their momentum as they continue to climb the competitive Western Conference standings. ## Sources covering this story - [Source — Steph Curry Breaks LeBron James' Record in Warriors' Overtime Victory](https://sportstar.thehindu.com/basketball/steph-curry-breaks-record-of-lebron-james-wembanyama-spurs-beat-trail-blazers-nba-latest-updates/article71680662.ece) - [Yahoo Sports — Stephen Curry Leads Warriors to Seventh Consecutive Win Over Magic](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/stephen-curry-drops-41-points-vs-magic-as-warriors-win-seventh-straight-in-ot-052337251.html) --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
