With three days off following that embarrassing loss to the Hawks — when Trae Young gloated on the MSG logo — Sunday night was an opportunity for the Knicks to show proof of heart.
ORLANDO —
They responded with a 100-91 victory in a physical battle, a performance that was chippy, choppy and messy but good enough to set Tom Thibodeau’s squad back on the better track. The Magic were shorthanded and missing their unquestioned two best players due to injuries, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.
The testy battle included a flagrant foul from Towns and double technicals issued to Cam Payne and Wendell Carter Jr. following a harmless kerfuffle that spilled into the Knicks bench.Vividseats: Official Ticketing Partner of New York PostJeremy Reper-Imagn Images
