After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Magic 127-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
