After Action Report
In Orlando, the Knicks squeaked past the Magic 118-116. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
