New York Knicks: Who Stepped Up Against The Orlando Magic?

The New York Knicks secured its second victory in three games on Wednesday, Mar. 1. Who stepped up during the win over the Orlando Magic?

The New York Knicks have returned from the 2017 NBA All-Star Break in intriguing form. Though the 119-104 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers was less than ideal, New York has looked quite impressive over the course of the past three games.

That stretch continued on Wednesday, Mar. 1 with one of the strongest showings of the season: a 101-90 victory over the Orlando Magic.

New York’s past three games have been some of its strongest performances yet. It defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 110-109 to turn things around at Madison Square Garden and looked the part of a postseason team during a 92-91 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

With a victory over Orlando, the Knicks have created momentum in the midst of a favorable stretch of games.

Against Orlando, five Knicks scored in double figures during what was a balanced display on both ends of the floor. New York recorded 21 assists and 13 offensive rebounds, and held Orlando to 41.0 percent shooting from the field and 20.0 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Though it was a team effort, there were a number of individuals who deserve praise for making the victory possible. Who were they?
