On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors  lost 115-101 at home to the Orlando Magic.  

Right before the game tipped off, five-time NBA All-Star Klay Thompson was pulled from the starting lineup.  

Afterward, head coach Steve Kerr was asked about what happened. 

Reporter: "Klay obviously didn't play with left knee soreness. Did that come up after warmups? Has it been lingering?"

Kerr: "It got sore during warmups, and the training staff looked at him and, just for precautionary reasons, kept him out of the game."

Reporter: "Not long-term concern?"

Kerr: "No."

After winning five games in a row, the Warriors are now in the middle of a two-game losing streak.  

Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner combined to score 49 points for the Magic, while Anthony Lamb's 26 points led the Warriors.   

With the loss, the Warriors are now 20-20 in 40 games this season, which has them tied with the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers for the seventh seed in the Western Conference. 

The west has been close, so they are only 3.0 games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the fourth seed and 6.5 games behind the Denver Nuggets for the first seed. 

Even though the Warriors have dropped their last two games at home, they are still an impressive 17-4 in 21 games hosted at the Chase Center.  

They will play their next game on Tuesday night when they host the Phoenix Suns. 

As for the Magic, they improved to 15-25 in 40 games with the win.
