After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Magic 127-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
