After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Magic 117-93. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
