Curry’s OT Magic, SGA’s Domination Headline NBA Overnight Action

Stephen Curry delivered another vintage masterclass, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dismantled a struggling opponent, and Jalen Brunson powered the defending champions as the NBA delivered a slate of standout performances Saturday night into early Sunday.

The Golden State Warriors extended their winning streak to seven with a hard-fought 126-119 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic at Chase Center.

Curry poured in 41 points, six rebounds and six assists, converting a crucial three-point play with 1:38 left in OT and adding a layup in the final minute.

The 38-year-old’s latest 40-point outing marked his 16th such game after turning 35, an NBA record.

Draymond Green dished a season-high 13 assists while Brandin Podziemski added 15 points.

Franz Wagner led the Magic with 30 points in a game that featured 10 lead changes and 14 ties before Golden State pulled away. The Warriors improved to 7-3 after an 0-3 start.

In Oklahoma City, the Thunder crushed the Washington Wizards 114-75, holding them to the lowest scoring total in the NBA this season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points with nine assists in three quarters before resting the fourth.

Jared McCain added 19 points and rookie Aday Mara contributed 18 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. The Thunder (8-2) shot nearly 49 percent and forced the Wizards into 29.6 percent shooting overall (just 7-of-43 from three).

Oklahoma City has won five of seven since key injuries to starters, continuing to look like one of the West’s most complete teams.

The New York Knicks moved above .500 for the first time this season with a 109-97 road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.

Jalen Brunson scored 31 points and added nine assists, including an 18-point surge in the second quarter that swung the game. Karl-Anthony Towns backed him with 29 points and 13 rebounds.

Donovan Mitchell answered with a season-high 37 points for Cleveland, but the Cavs (5-5) could not overcome the Knicks’ control after the first quarter. New York has now won three straight and five of six.

Elsewhere, the Atlanta Hawks edged the Brooklyn Nets 124-121 behind Jalen Johnson’s strong return with 30 points.

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-102 in Mexico City, with Nikola Jokic contributing 19 points in a solid team effort. The Phoenix Suns held off the Houston Rockets 102-99, led by Devin Booker’s 24 points, for consecutive wins.

Western Conference contenders continue to set the early pace.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder both sit at 8-2, with the San Antonio Spurs (7-2) and Warriors close behind. In the East, the Philadelphia 76ers lead at 8-2, followed closely by the Boston Celtics at 7-2.

Top scorers and playmakers like Curry, Brunson, SGA, and emerging contributors across the league are already shaping the 2026-27 narrative through efficient, high-impact nights.

With Sunday’s slate featuring matchups like the Lakers at Detroit and Celtics at Milwaukee, the early-season intensity shows no signs of slowing.

Star power and team cohesion are delivering the kind of overnight NBA results that keep fans locked in from tip to final buzzer.
