After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Magic 125-104. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
