After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Magic 143-142 in triple overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
