After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic demolished the Knicks 127-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
