The New York Knicks of summer held off a game Orlando Magic squad, 102-89, on Thursday night. The Magic were resting No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero, so the Knicks had a clear talent advantage. It took them a while to exert their dominance, but a flurry of fourth-quarter points sealed the victory.
The player of the game was Miles McBride. Deuce hadn’t had the best Summer League up to this point, but he was New York’s most consistently dominant player Thursday. He finished with 23 points on 9-13 shooting to go along with 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.
