The Lead
All five Magic starters scored in double figures, including rookie Franz Wagner who finished with a team-high 16 points in his regular season Amway Center debut, but Orlando struggled to slow down the New York Knicks in a 121-96 loss.
Key Stats
Kemba Walker, a Magic killer over the years, drilled three triples in the first five minutes of the game. That set the tone for what turned out to be a superb shooting night for the Knicks, who knocked down a franchise-record 24 3-pointers. New York’s bench also did a number on Orlando, totaling 58 points.
