After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Magic 99-96. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
