After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Magic 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
