After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Magic 119-97. Knicks torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
