After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Knicks 121-93. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
