After Action Report
In New York, the Magic snuck past the Knicks 101-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
