After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Magic 113-105. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
