Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Orlando Magic 1/18/2021 12:00 [Game #15]

IQ missed a 3. Their defense is swarming now. Gordon to shoot 2 to cut lead to 3.

You know it?s coming but you are helpless to stop it. All goes back to Thibbs leaving Rivers in too long.

71-68

Austin Rivers continues to play like trash.

Without question Burks should get all his minutes

Randle bricks a wide open 3....

5-25 from downtown. Beautiful bball to watch.

EP has shot block. ORL goes for tie but misses it. But Bullock pulls up with 23 seconds on clock and bricks another 3...

5-26....

This is ugly, unwatchable hoops.
ORL will win this game if they hit their shots. We can?t score and only want to
Shoot the 3.

There are plenty midrange shots they?re passing up

wow, this is some horrible shooting for both teams

Vucevic makes it a 1 point game. He?s best player on the floor, so advantage ORL down the stretch.

Gordon ties it with a 3. AG the second best player.

Ever since that awful pass on a 2:1 break, lead went from potentially being 17 to tie game in a flash.

Mitch is fouled but he?ll miss 1 or both. ORL has the fresh legs and have 2 guys who can score easily.

This is a brutal loss about to happen.

Mitch missed both...

NY started 10-11 from the FT line then went 5-13.

RJ feeds Mitch but his dunk is blocked.

3:50 left....

Randle makes a pair of FTs.

78-75.

That shot by Ross was amazing

Gordon drives to the hoop. Hits RJ with an obvious offball arm shove... the same thing they called on RJ, which negated a bucket. No call here, of course. Home cooking officiating... where is it?

ORL keeps possession on a jump
Ball as a result of blown call, and with 2 second left on the shot clock... Ross makes a heave 3.

Then Randle missed a FT.

Tie game. NYK ball. 1 minute left.

ISO Randle after timeout gives NYK an 83-81 lead. 56 seconds remain.
Don?t allow a 3!!!!
Can ORL miss a shot and we hit some FTs?

ORL led 9-6 and 81-80... that?s it so far today.

AG turnover. RJ tough finish!!!!

Not entirely sure how what Cole Anthony did there to Randle on the ground leads to a jump ball

Mitchell forces a miss. Jump ball. Cole and Randle. But Anthony jumped on Julius and hurt him... Thibbs is furious. Randle Ok....

Knicks gain the tap. ORL fouls. 85-81. 27.6 seconds left. Bullock to shoot 2...

Clutch FTs from Bullock

RJ Barrett he?s been so solid...he may not have the IT factor but he?s certainly built different

Good win, what a thriller fourth

Randle finished it... Vucevic and Gordon didn?t. RJ plays well beyond his years. He will be a stud in 3 years. Like a AI or Dray Green type team player.

After 15 games, NYK are fifth in defense. A top 5 defense.

We are the 6th seed right now.

Defense was great down the stretch! Poor shooting all around but RJ and IQ looked great. So does OBi T for that matter and Peyton had a monster dunk. Nice all around game!
