After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Knicks 113-97. Every possession went the Magic way. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
