Shorthanded Magic Go Cold in Loss to Knicks

The Lead

Playing without most of their normal starters, the Orlando Magic shot just 35 percent from the field and 27 percent from 3-point range in a 118-88 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday at Amway Center.

Key Stretch

The Knicks, trailing by one with just under four minutes left in the second quarter, closed the half on a 13-2 run. Evan Fournier started the surge with a baseline jumper, Mitchell Robinson followed with a dunk, and RJ Barrett buried a 3-pointer during that tide-turning stretch.

Top Performers

Moe Wagner led five Magic players in double figures with 18 points, while Ignas Brazdeikis matched his season high with 13 points and Markelle Fultz finished with 11 points, three rebounds and six assists.
