After Action Report
The Magic downed the Knicks 99-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
