The Knicks, who had lost all three previous seasonal meetings with Orlando, held the Magic to 34.2% from the field, allowing only 74 points (lowest score of the NBA season) and obtained a solid home victory. Jalen Brunson (26 points and 11/19 from the field) returns after two games off and leads the way, Precious Achiuwa adds the double double of 15 points and 14 rebounds and New York controls from the first minutes of the match. Among the guests Paolo Banchero (23 points and 9 rebounds) is the only one to escape.
