ORLANDO — There may be some NBA fans who long for the days of repeated one-on-one isolation plays. Those who appreciate ball movement, however, have found their ideal team in the Warriors.
In its 133-112 win Friday night over the Magic at Amway Center, Golden State showed what can happen when a group insists on making the extra pass. The Warriors piled up an NBA-season-high 46 assists, just one shy of their franchise record.
Stephen Curry (23 points, 10 assists, six rebounds) and Draymond Green (12 points, 10 assists) helped set a selfless tone on a night Kevin Durant (25 points, seven assists) was ejected late for arguing with officials.
