Curry was in an inspired mood, outscoring the Magic in the third quarter with 22 points to their 21.
The pick of the two-time most valuable player’s three-pointers came at the end of the second quarter, when he hit a buzzer-beater from well within his own half.
Curry’s haul came from just 25 shots – the second-fewest in NBA history in a match with 55 plus points behind the 24 James Harden needed with the Houston Rockets in 2019.
Curry’s career-high match total came against the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021, when he netted 62 points.
He has hit 12 or more three-pointers in a single game three times in his career, with his haul of 13 coming against the New Orleans Pelicans in 2016.
