After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Magic 119-104. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
