It is not a good time to face the red-hot Warriors for a desperate 76ers squad, and their injury luck is not getting any better. The 76ers have already ruled out star center Joel Embiid for Saturday's matchup due to left knee injury management.

Stephen Curry ignited his own third-quarter explosion with a 50-footer at the halftime horn, then capped a 56-point performance with his 11th and 12th 3-pointers to protect a late lead that resulted in the Golden State Warriors' 121-115 victory over the host Orlando Magic on Thursday night.

Going 12-for-19 from three-point range, Curry tied LeBron James and Rick Barry for seventh on the NBA 's all-time list with his 14th career 50-point game. Curry also surpassed Patrick Ewing for 26th on the all-time scoring list and, at 36, became the oldest player in NBA history with multiple 20-point quarters in a season.
