After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Magic 109-101. Knicks' offense had its way with the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
