The New York Knicks' winning streak ended on Wednesday night at the hands of the Orlando Magic, 124-107. Head coach Mike Brown told reporters after the game that the Knicks' loss was easy to understand because of their lack of execution, particularly on defense. He revealed that his team failed at one of its nightly goals, which is to win the possession battle.
Brown said the Knicks lost the possession battle 30 to 19 on Wednesday. He went on to reveal the straightforward formula his staff employs to calculate those numbers each game.
"We just have to match their physicality without sending them to the free throw line," the coach said after the loss.
