OAKLAND, Calif. — Carve out a place for the Golden State Warriors in the record books, and prepare to take the Orlando Magic out of the playoff picture.
The Magic lost to the defending NBA champions 119-113 Monday night at Oracle Arena.
Golden State won its 45th regular-season home game in a row, breaking the record for consecutive home wins held by the mid-1990s Chicago Bulls.
With the loss, the Magic fell to five games behind the eighth-place team in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls.
Stephen Curry, the NBA's reigning MVP, scored 41 points as he made seven of his 13 attempts from 3-point range.
