After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Knicks 111-108. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
