After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Knicks 111-107. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
