The New York Knicks secured a convincing win over the Orlando Magic, 100-91, on Sunday night. Jalen Brunson led the team with 31 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 22 rebounds.
Mikal Bridges chipped in with 17 points for the Knicks, with Josh Hart adding 12 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Moritz Wagner led the Magic with a career-high 32 points but fell short as they suffered their first homecourt loss of the season.
The Knicks relied on defense and rebounding to pull away from the Magic in the fourth quarter, leading by 16 points. Jalen Suggs had nine points, eight assists, and three blocks for Orlando before fouling out with 3:59 left.
The win marked the second consecutive game the Knicks have played without a spot in the NBA Cup tournament. The team will look to continue its winning streak as they face Minnesota on Thursday, marking Karl-Anthony Towns’ first regular-season game against his former team.
