Watch: Stephen Curry says 'night night' to the Orlando Magic

Playing without two starters on the second night of a back-to-back, Stephen Curry was tired, but he put the Orlando Magic to bed with two game-sealing buckets late.

Curry hit a tough three-pointer with 33 seconds left to give the Warriors an insurmountable eight-point lead, then did his patented "Night Night" celebration, where he pretends to go to sleep with his folded hands as a pillow. Then he got emotional and kicked a chair on the bench, perhaps imagining it was teammate Draymond Green, who was ejected 3:36 into the game.

It was a huge shot on a night when Curry's shot hadn't been falling. He was 4-for-16 with just over a minute left before he drove past multiple Magic defenders for a layup to put Golden State up by five.

The Warriors didn't have forward Jonathan Kuminga and then lost Green. Somehow, they still clung to a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, which opened the door for Curry's bedtime performance.

Golden State got much-needed back-to-back wins against Orlando and the Miami Heat, even after a problem with its plane got them into Miami from Minnesota very late Monday morning. Next up for the Warriors? Getting some sleep.
