After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Magic 107-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
