After Action Report
In Orlando, the Knicks snuck past the Magic 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
