The Orlando Magic goes into World's Most Famous Arena and beats the Knicks playing in the Bermuda Triangle 97-95. That wasn't the lead story in this one as the Magic followed the lead of France an Montenegro to victory on this night.

A 56-50 lead at the break for the O-Magic turned into a 76-74 Knicks lead as the "Bully" of Jordan Brand 'Melo Anthony and "Get Shots" J.R. Smith combined of 20 of the Knickerbockers 26 points. It was France's Evan Fournier (28 pts) and Montenegro's Nikola Vucevic (20 pts 13 rebs) that was a thorn in the side of the Knicks all night long.

Both teams kept it close down the stretch but it was too much Fournier and Vucevic as the O-Magic win 97-95 despite a last ditch effort from 'Melo Anthony to put Knicks Tape in the winner's circle.

Knicks lost the game committing 27 fouls and putting the Magic on the free throw line for 32 attempts to the Knicks 14 attempts. 'Melo had a game-high 27 points on 10 for 17 with J.R. adding 19 points on 6 for 16. Knicks starters were outscored 69-50. 'Melo and 21 Shump Street (10 pts) were the only Knicks in double figures.

The Magic moves to 3-6 while the Knicks fall to 2-7...
