After Action Report

The Knicks downed the Magic 102-83. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
