Second half...
Incredible shooting from Durant and Klay, and a ton of help from the refs.
However, this game was lost in the 3rd quarter. The Magic had an 18-point lead and made bad decision after bad decision on offense. So many ill-advised shots, combined with turnovers. Missed opportunity.

Kevin Durant, ladies and gents, with 49 points in win v. Magic after 44 v. Kings.
Historical context from @WarriorsPR
Warriors with two straight 40-point games: Last was Klay March 25-27, 2016. Six Warriors all-time: Klay, Curry, Jamison, Purvis, Rick Barry, and Wilt.
