How It Happened:
Without Kristaps Porzingis in the lineup, the Knicks battled in a back-and-forth affair on Wednesday night in Orlando. Unfortunately, New York’s turnover issues and 30 points per game missing in the starting group were too much to overcome on the road. The Knicks managed to lead the game late in the third quarter despite missing their leading man. Early in the fourth frame, New York trailed by six before the Magic expanded its lead to 14 with 5:51 to go in the game. Orlando bounced back after two consecutive defeats to shoot 53.8 percent from the floor and 46.
