After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Magic 102-89. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
