After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Knicks 119-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
