The Orlando Magic got some great games from their best players, sparking them to a thorough and complete 100-91 win over the New York Knicks.
The Orlando Magic needed a more consistent effort and needed to stay committed on the defensive end. So the team made a change to the starting lineup.
The results of that lineup change were still a bit mixed. The Magic had their struggles in this game for sure. They nearly gave away the halftime lead yet again. But each time, they found a way to stabilize and push back for a 100-91 win at Amway Center on Wednesday.
That is not always something the team has done and done well. The Magic pulled through and won.
More impressively, they did it without a crazy efficient offense. The team shot just 39.5 percent from the floor but got a big boost from 32 free throw attempts — 15 from Victor Oladipo.
It was one of Orlando’s most complete efforts as New York shot just 37.3 percent from the floor and failed to get much of any traction in the game. The Magic could be pleased with their work all the way through.
