After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Magic 98-85. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
