After Action Report

The Knicks held off the Magic 122-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
