The New York Knicks will look to win a second consecutive home game when the Orlando Magic come to town on Wednesday, December 21. What must New York do to achieve victory?
The New York Knicks ended a three-game losing streak with an explosive 118-111 victory over the rival Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, December 20. It was an extraordinary comeback for a Knicks team that hadn’t yet won a game that it trailed entering the fourth quarter.
On Thursday, December 22, the Knicks will have a chance to push the winning streak to two games during a clash with the Orlando Magic.
Orlando enters Madison Square Garden with a below .500 record at 13-17 in 2016-17, but have won two of three. With a deep and talented roster, the Magic are the furthest thing from a team to overlook.
Though Orlando projects to be a challenging opponent, the 15-13 Knicks will be the favored team during this upcoming home game.
New York is 10-4 at home, which borders on dominance and easily crosses the threshold into postseason-caliber play. Orlando is 8-7 on the road, however, which is an obvious enough reason to avoid overlooking Frank Vogel’s crew.
The question is: what must the New York Knicks do in order to defeat the Orlando Magic at Madison Square Garden?
