Golden State (10-34) got its seventh home win of the season on Saturday, defeating the Orlando Magic 109-95. DeAngelo Russell led the Warriors to victory by putting up 26 points, which was enough to hold off the efforts of Markelle Fultz and the rest of the Magic. Golden State led by only one point at halftime but outscored the Magic by 10 in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Golden State is doing its best to hold things together without Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
Portland (18-26) lost in Oklahoma City on Saturday, dropping a 119-106 decision to the Thunder. Damian Lillard scored a game-high 34 points in the loss, going 10-for-23 from the field. However, it was Chris Paul of the Thunder who stole the show, scoring 30 points on 11-for-15 shooting against a Portland defense that was not equipped to stop him. Against DeAngelo Russell, the Trail Blazers will face another tough test.
