After Action Report
In New York, the Magic ran roughshod over the Knicks 102-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
