Knicks fall under Magic’s spell in tough loss
Terrence Ross outscored the entire New York Knicks’ bench as the Orlando Magic rolled to a convincing 107-89 victory on Wednesday night.
Ross fired 18 of his season-high 30 points, presiding over Magic’s break away from a tight first half.
The Knicks shot 54 percent in the opening half and led by as many as 11 behind Julius Randle’s 17 points. But the Magic tightened their defense and started packing the paint in the third quarter.
“It was really the second quarter. Normally, our bench is a big plus for us, and we lost an 11-point quickly. We didn’t challenge shots the way we should have, and they got going,” Thibodeau said.
