After Action Report
The Magic held off the Knicks 115-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
