Monta Ellis led Golden State with 14 point. Baron Davis had 13 points and Kelenna Azubuike had 11 points and six rebounds for the Warriors, who lost for the third time in their last four games.

Golden State paid the price for cold shooting -- hitting just 37 percent from the floor and just 29 percent from behind the three-point line -- as they put up their lowest point total of the season to date.

Ellis got the Warriors to within 65-61 with a jumper early in the fourth quarter, but the Magic ran off eight unanswered points, and then put the game away with a 15-3 tear.
