After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks demolished the Magic 137-114. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
