The #Magic posted a 102.0 defensive rating tonight. Only 100.0 in the fourth quarter.

A gutsy defensive performance. #Magic could not find a workable offense beyond their 3-point shooting for 3 quarters. Then Franz Wagner explodes for 21 of his 23 points in the fourth. Suggs' injury will put a cloud over the game. But, first win for Sweeney. Magic win 111-102

Great line from @DanteMagic: "Gotham needed a villain, and they got Bane." #Magic on a 28-8 run over the last 7:41. ORL 104:94 NYK 1:21 4th

Jalen Suggs is on his feet and being helped by two staffers back to the locker room. Fearing the worst... hoping for the best for Jalen. ORL 100:94 NYK 2:09 4th

Considering the last three trips to MSG have ended with major injuries for the #Magic, I am thankful this is their only trip to the Garden this year.

Uh oh... Jalen Suggs just went down with a non-contact injury going up for a layup. Immediately grabbing his leg along the baseline. Literally went up for the layup and it looked like he stopped going up. ORL 100:94 NYK 2:09 4th

The #Magic had a five-point lead with about this much time left on Wednesday against the Hawks. Good chance to make good and close this one out. #Magic need this win badly. ORL 98:92 NYK 2:50 4th

This fourth quarter is the way the #Magic need to play. Defense has been clamps on the #Knicks. Nothing has been easy. They have forced six turnovers. Ball is whipping inside the paint and out and around for open shots. AB with a huge three. ORL 98:91 NYK 3:22 4th

Franz Wagner starting to take over. Forcing his way into the paint and getting to the foul line. He has 10 points and a double-double. He is two assists shy of his first career triple-double. The makes have the defense playing much more aggressively. ORL 86:86 NYK 7:25 4th

Franz Wagner with 15 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter. All the roadblocks keeping him from the basket have been removed. He is getting straight to the hoop. ORL 91:89 NYK 5:36 4th

The 3-point shooting is keeping the #Magic in it. But Orlando's inability to get to the rim, score in the paint or get to the foul line is the only way to sustain real offense. The #Knicks have not been good. But they have been better at this. ORL 76:86 NYK 9:19 4th

Franz Wagner is working on a Draymond triple-double. He opened the 4th with his second field goal of the game and is 2 for 11. But he has 9 rebounds and 8 assists. The #Magic will need some Franz plays to close this one out. Still climbing uphill. ORL 73:78 NYK 10:50 4th

The offensive execution has not been great at all points. But the #Magic are making the threes to stay in this one. Defense has done well to keep them in it. Just have to make the plays when the pressure is on. #Knicks lead 75-71 after three quarters.

The big concern I have so far in these 3 games is that every opportunity the #Magic have to make a big momentum-changing play like a big three, or a possession for the lead, or a rebound, they just fail to make them. That's what tanking teams look like. ORL 37:40 NYK 6:36 2nd

The #Magic had at least 3 possessions down one or three points where they failed to get a good shot. Brunson got a run out off a jump ball win. #Knicks got a Josh Hart three. And now Carter picks up his fourth foul and a technical. #Magic back down eight. ORL 53:61 NYK 7:42 3d

#Magic with another three possessions down by three. The results: Forced AB shot in the paint Missed Vooch three Cain turnover Hart hits a three and it is a 6-point game again. ORL 69:75 NYK 1:35 3rd
