The Orlando Magic will welcome the New York Knicks to Amway Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The Orlando Magic won 122-112 in their last game over the Wizards. Rookie Pablo Banchero had 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and the Orlando Magic beat the Washington Wizards 122-112 on Tuesday night. “That’s a team we had to beat,” said Anthony. “They’re ahead of us. But we’ll take a win any way we can get it.”
Orlando won for the first time in eight games against Washington. Gary Harris scored 22 points for the Magic, and Franz Wagner had 20 points. Reserve guard Cole Anthony finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Orlando and Washington are trying to earn a spot in the postseason. The Wizards (32-40) went into the game 11th in the East, two games out of the final play-in spot. The Magic (30-43) are 13th.
“I’m not sure why we would think we would be able to just walk into a win — we have to earn it, we have to take it,” he said. “We’re not good enough to assume we can flip a switch at some point and things are going to go away.” “It is frustrating, but this is part of our job,” Porzingis said. “I know a lot of these guys know what it’s like to be on the other side, to be winning and having all this fun. Right now we are on the side that is not as fun, but we have to figure out a way.”
The New York Knicks on the other hand lost 127-120 against the Heat in their last game. New York’s Julius Randle, coming off a 57-point effort Monday against Minnesota, was held to 15. RJ Barrett scored 26 for the Knicks, who got 25 from Jalen Brunson and 22 from Quentin Grimes. The Knicks cut what was a 12-point deficit with 3:54 left down to five on a 3-pointer by Barrett with 42.2 seconds remaining.
Butler made a pair of free throws to push the lead back to seven, Brunson missed two free throws with 22.3 seconds left and that essentially sealed matters for Miami. New York shot 71% in the fourth — but allowed Miami to shoot 67% in that period, and the Heat were 6 for 7 on 3’s in the final quarter. “They played really well,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I thought it was a hard-fought game, but our defense obviously wasn’t good enough.”
New York played the front end of its 12th and final back-to-back of the season. … The Knicks have trailed by double digits in four consecutive games, tying their second-longest such streak of the season. New York faced deficits of at least 10 points in five straight games from Oct. 28 through Nov. 5.
