After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic snuck past the Knicks 110-105. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
