The Golden State Warriors secured a win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday (Jan. 2.) The victory snapped a three-game losing streak and likely helped restore some of the feel-good factor within the locker room. However, the win didn’t come without its issues, as Gary Payton II left the game with a hamstring injury in the third quarter.
Still, the Warriors took care of business and got themselves back on track ahead of a tough game against the Denver Nuggets. Golden State has lost their last two games against Nikola Jokic and Co., so there will likely be an additional motivation for Steve Kerr’s team heading into the game.
Still, before we begin focusing on what lies ahead, it’s worth taking a closer look at who performed well against the Magic and helped the Warriors secure a much-needed win. Here are the top three statistical performers from Golden State’s 115-121 win over the Magic.
