Magic 112, Knicks 99: Scenes from a free giveaway

Well I guess Disney doesn’t want you to see a Unicorn. They hate your childlike spirit. The Knicks desperately missed their leader in this game as Kristaps Porzingis was sidelined with regular bumps and bruises. One that seemed worrisome was elbow bursitis.

Unfortunately you could see the minutes wearing on the team. Then in the second half the Magic seized control and safely tucked the game into bed and told the Knicks to have sweet dreams.

And you shrimps are toast.
