When the Golden State Warriors won three straight games against the Sacramento Kings, it seemed like the Dubs would settle the tie in Game 6. The defending champions, however, lost their home game. The defeat prompted Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson to make a Game 7 prediction. Johnson’s prediction was effectively dismantled by Stephen Curry and the Warriors, who won the game 120-100. Following their round 1 victory, Magic took to Twitter to give the Baby-Faced Assassin his flowers.

Despite having a poor track record for road games, the Dubs shocked the NBA world by claiming their series-winning victory on Sunday night.

Magic Johnson applauds Stephen Curry

Magic Johnson was among millions of fans who were looking forward to watching the Warriors defeat their opponents in Game 6. However, following their disappointing loss, Johnson seemingly lost hope on the Warriors progressing to round 2. Stephen Curry’s team exceeded Magic’s expectations and won Game 7 with a 20-point difference in their opponent’s home court. Minutes later, the Hall of Famer praised “Chef Curry” on Twitter.

In his tweet on Dub Nation’s victory, Magic wrote, “When the Warriors needed superstar Steph Curry the most, he put the team on his back and led them to a 120-100 win over the Kings! With 50 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, this was one of his greatest performances ever!”

Curry impressively dropped a game-high 50 points making him the first player in the league’s history to score 40+ points in Game 7. Teammate Klay Thompson added 16 points and five rebounds. In addition, Andrew Wiggins scored 17 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. The San Francisco side’s impressive performance put to bed Magic Johnson’s prediction for Game 7.
