After Action Report
In Orlando, the Knicks held off the Magic 105-99. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
