After Action Report
The Magic knocked off the Knicks 113-101. Magic torched the Knicks on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
