In a captivating game at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks faced a stiff challenge against the Orlando Magic, who emerged victorious with a score of 103-94 on Monday night, recording the Knicks’ third straight loss this season.
Cole Anthony led the Magic’s offense by scoring a dazzling 24 points. He was well supported by Wendell Carter Jr., who contributed a career-high 19 points, showing the depth of the Magic’s roster despite missing its top four scorers due to injuries.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also made a significant contribution, adding 15 points to the Magic’s total. Defensively, Orlando was relentless, forcing the Knicks to shoot just 18 percent from behind the arc, limiting them to a poor 4 of 22 from the three-point line. The Magic stepped up their defense in the second half, preventing the Knicks from making a single three-point attempt until Cam Payne finally broke the curse with just 8.2 seconds remaining.
