After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic survived the Knicks 98-97. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
