After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Magic 107-86. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
