Knicks get much-needed response as Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns key win over Magic

ORLANDO, Fla. — With three days off following that embarrᴀssing loss to the Hawks — when Trae Young gloated on the MSG logo — Sunday night was an opportunity for the Knicks to show proof of heart.

They responded by winning a dogfight against a shorthanded but scrappy Magic squad, 100-91, a performance that was chippy and choppy but good enough to set Tom Thibodeau’s squad back on the better track.

“Hard-fought road win,” the coach summed up.

But they’re also feisty and entered undefeated at home at 10-0.

The Knicks (16-10), who leapfrogged the Magic for third in the East, overcame 17 turnovers, numerous falls to the court and an antagonizing opposing center in Mo Wagner (who dropped a season-high 32 points).
