ORLANDO — The Warriors have not looked like a championship team since the NBA All-Star break.
The Warriors lost to the Magic, 103-96, marking their third loss in the past five games since the NBA All-Star weekend. It did not help the Warriors sat Kevin Durant (rest) and Andre Iguodala (illness).
The Warriors’ other stars struggled filling in those vacancies. Stephen Curry scored 33 points albeit with inefficiency from the field (12-of-33). Klay Thompson added 21 points while going only 9-of-23 overall and 3-of-12 from 3. DeMarcus Cousins added 21 points and 11 rebounds, but he struggled from long (0-of-4) and on defense.
