After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Magic 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
