Orlando, still burdened by the heavy absence of Franz Wagner, remained attached to the Knicks, who were also on the field without Jalen Brunson, for the entire game and then raised the level in the 4th quarter by finalizing the away blow. Paolo Banchero (20 points and 6 rebounds) is the driving force for Magic, who draw 17 points from Wendell Carter Jr. and 15 from Cole Anthony from the bench. Miles McBride, in the starting five in place of Brunson, scores 20 points and is New York’s best.
