To compete with the Warriors, the Magic essentially have to play perfect basketball.
And they were far from perfect on Monday night.
The Magic committed a season-high 22 turnovers, leading to a lopsided 126-95 loss to Golden State.
The four-game West Coast trip initially got off to a fast start for the Magic, who scored the first nine points of the game. But the threes began to fall for the Dubs, who went on a 20-4 run to take a 25-18 lead.
The Magic closed the quarter strong after R.J. Hampton converted a three-point play off a turnover and, on the ensuing inbounds, Gary Harris stripped Steph Curry and put in a quick layup to make it a two-point game.
