Immanuel Quickley scored all 11 points in the first half to help New York build a nine-point lead early in the first half. Quickley connected with 4 out of 10 shots in the contest, which was his fourth straight game scoring in double digits, his longest streak of the season.
The 25th overall pick once again showed off his offensive arsenal and his float worked perfectly. Though he only recorded a few minutes in the second half, Quickley played a key role in helping the Knicks get off to a good start.
Overall, the match turned out to be rather sloppy by both teams, and every pitch under 36%. New York struggled offensively all season, while Orlando took a nosedive in the standings after losing six straight games.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Knicks achieved their second consecutive victory after enduring a streak of five straight losses.
