After Action Report
In Orlando, the Knicks snuck past the Magic 97-93. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
