Maybe this is an announcement that the #Magic are going to be a factor in the East like we all thought. Maybe they caught the #Knicks on a weird night.
It is impressive nonetheless. The Magic stifled the Knicks all night and moved the ball well.
Magic win in New York 124-107.

Noah Penda called Guerschon Yabusele one of the players he looked up to in France.
Yabusele just hit a three in Penda's face. Welcome to the NBA, rook. Don't meet your heroes, lol.

#Magic in transition get Desmond Bane a corner three. Dagger shot.
#Maic are on their way to a double-digit national TV win.

Franz Wagner checks back in. Good minutes from Jonathan Isaac tonight. His defense made up for any offensive struggles. Isaac should be playing regularly. #Magic are trying to ride this one out.

Jalen Brunson checks back in. The #Knicks made up ground with him on the bench. Mosley matches Suggs' minutes with Brunson. Franz still on the bench. Can't be for much long.

The #Magic start the 4th quarter with Franz Wagner on the bench and Anthony Black and Desmond Bane as the main attackers. The offense predictably has lost some verve. #Knicks attacking in transition and have cut the lead to 12. Expect some starters back in.

That was by far the best half the #Magic have played all year. Something woke in them and they came into this game focused and determined. They are executing on both ends pretty flawlessly (minus missing threes).
Franz with 17 points. Bane with 12.
#Magic lead the #Knicks 62-42

The #Knicks are trying to hide Jalen Brunson on Tristan da Silva, and he has attacked him twice to get points. Da Silva is not just a spot-up shooter.

This is suddenly a very confident #Magic team. They are moving it to open players and hitting their shots (not threes, of course).
But defensively, they are dictating every term. Brunson is starting to find some room. But everyone else is frustrated.

Paolo Banchero is out with an injury for the moment.
Jalen Suggs picked up his third foul trying to draw a foul on Brunson. Desmond Bane now picks up his third foul trying to faceguard Brunson. Franz has two.
Can't have those guys out.

I am a little nervous about the #Magic being without one of their key players and Paolo (despite the narratives) has been really good at setting everyone else up.
But, the positive is I think this puts the ball in Bane's hands more and forces him to hunt for his shot. Could help

Paolo Banchero is in the locker room and is QUESTIONABLE to return with a left groin strain.

The #Magic are 4 for 15 on threes in this game. If they could hit some of these open looks, they might run away with this one.
Good process to get these shots. But misses put more pressure to be more precise with your execution.

The #Magic need to increase their pace, but this is the kind of game they must avoid. Going back and forth with the ball being thrown around. 3 straight turnovers before the Bane foul. Trying to do too much with their passes, not presenting any simple outlets.
