Paolo Banchero led the Orlando Magic (30-25) to a decisive 118-100 win against the injury-riddled New York Knicks (33-22), scoring 36 points alongside Franz Wagner, who added 21 points.
Facing a Knicks team depleted by injuries and playing with only nine players, the Magic capitalized on their advantage.
Despite a strong individual effort from Jalen Brunson, who tallied 33 points and six assists for the Knicks, the team struggled to contain Banchero and the Magic’s offensive onslaught, resulting in their fourth consecutive loss.
