Knicks now trailing the Magic, 81-80, and I wonder how long Thibs can keep out the starters. – 8:58 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through three quarters, Knicks lead the Magic 80-74.
• Randle 25-10-3, 3 blks, 2 stls
• Rose 13 pts
• Robinson 8 & 9, 2 stls, 2 blks
• Anthony 25-13-5 – 8:54 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Magic subbed out both Cole Anthony and R.J. Hampton with the team trailing 71-69 with 3:50 remaining in the third quarter. A questionable decision. They now trail 78-71. R.J. Hampton is running the offense, but the Magic need to have a point guard in the game. – 8:51 PM

David Baumann @DavidBaumannORL
Julius Randle is so freakin good.
23p,10r,3b3a,2s with 1:35 still to play in the 3rd.
Knicks lead the Magic 78-71. – 8:51 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Didn’t see anything on court – but RJ Barrett now headed back to the locker room. – 8:50 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Mitchell Robinson A+ game. – 8:48 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks have missed 13 of their l14 3-point attempts. – 8:42 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I haven’t watched much, but somehow Cole Anthony has 13 rebounds midway through the third quarter. – 8:42 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
With 5:30 remaining in the third quarter, Cole Anthony has a career-high 13 rebounds. – 8:41 PM

David Baumann @DavidBaumannORL
Double double for Cole Anthony.
23p,13r,5a,1s.
5:30 still to play in the 3rd. – 8:41 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks still taking 3s in abundance but now missing them.
Knicks 66, Magic 65. – 8:39 PM

David Baumann @DavidBaumannORL
Good tempo for the Magic in the 3rd… Great lob from WCJ to Bamba a moment ago. Good strong take by Suggs to the rim and the finish… And a great job by WCJ to follow up a missed layup with a rebound and put back. Magic down 1… – 8:37 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Mitchell Robinson is at the table, ready to check back into the game. – 8:34 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
That layup from Kemba Walker ended a 10-quarter streak: was his first basket in the paint of the season. – 8:33 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
you know what hasn’t been an issue at all this year? Mo Bamba’s motor. Huh. – 8:32 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
A limping Mitchell Robinson helped off court by Jericho Sims and trainer after bad tumble underneath, knocked to floor by Jalen Suggs. Hold your breath. – 8:30 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Mitchell Robinson hasn’t caught a break in two years, man – 8:30 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jalen Suggs and Mitchell Robinson just collided on a rebound attempt and Robinson is down and being looked at by trainers. Looks like Suggs hit him in the lower leg. Robinson seems to be in real pain. – 8:29 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Mitchell Robinson is on the ground and looks to be in a lot of pain. A lot. – 8:28 PM

Cole Anthony is having a career night in New York.
21p,8r,4a,1s, 7/11 FG, 5/7 3s in 19 min at halftime.
Magic trail Knicks 57-52. – 8:10 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Knicks lead the Magic 57-52.
• Randle 14 & 7
• Rose 11 pts
• Fournier 8 pts
• Anthony 21-8-4 – 8:10 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Orlando down just 5 against the Knicks at half. That’s a 25-point improvement over Friday! Pretty solid so far, all things considered, even accounting for the big scoring drought in the second quarter. – 8:10 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
The @Orlando Magic answer with a 16-4 run of their own.
Cole Anthony up to 21 pts. Franz Wagner has 10. – 8:09 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Quentin Grimes got the Ntilikina role for 2 seconds of defense at the end of the first half against the Celtics. Tonight, Miles McBride gets it for 4.5 seconds to close the second quarter. – 8:08 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Halftime: Cole Anthony 21, Obi Toppin 2. Don’t @ me. – 8:08 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Julius Randle and R.J. Barrett becoming the optimized versions of themselves under Tom Thibodeau. Impressive. They’re both so, so good. – 8:07 PM

Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Im really intrigued by Franz Wagner. Is such an impressive defender, and feel like, at minimum, he’s a fantastic role player in pros. Maybe more. – 8:05 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Knicks are on a 15-0 run against the Magic.
The run started with a Derrick Rose 3-pointer. He has 7 threes in a two-game stretch against Orlando. He only had 7 threes in a two-game span once last season. – 7:55 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks are fun and exciting but the Orlando Magic is awful. Both things are true. – 7:55 PM

Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
3PT’s and alley oops and defense and dunks by NY in this second quarter
Knicks up 14
#BingBong – 7:55 PM

Alan Hahn @alanhahn
This #Knicks bench is gonna be a problem for a lot of teams. #NewYorkForever – 7:55 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
15-0 run for the Knicks right now, and they’re still going. They lead 47-34 with 5:20 remaining in the second quarter. – 7:54 PM

Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
The Magic uhh….they still have a lot of work to do structurally on defense. Lot of over helping. For as many positive signs as Mo Bamba has shown this year, definitely still working on where he needs to be in terms of positioning. – 7:54 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks have 9 3-pointers so far – and 3 Mitchell Robinson dunks. Up 47-34 on Magic after trailing early. – 7:54 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Knicks owner James Dolan back in his baseline seat after surprisingly missing season opener. – 7:53 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
pretty telling that the Magic are turning in really strong efforts on both sides of the ball and are still down 5. I mean, you’d rather them play well than not, but even their best (may) not be enough. That’s what this year is about. – 7:48 PM

Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
Cole Anthony going god mode at home in MSG through the first 12 minutes and change. honestly, kinda awesome lol. – 7:42 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
listen to this crowd lol not even the end of the first quarter against the Magic on a Sunday pic.twitter.com/hryiOyeoZA – 7:42 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks lead the Magic 29-27. Cole Anthony has 15 points, but that’s not the most interesting stat, in my opinion. Terrence Ross has played seven minutes and doesn’t have a shot attempt. Opponents are keying on him, for sure. – 7:40 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
amazing that the Magic look like a real team when a) they aren’t fumbling the ball all around the gym and b) their backcourt is actually making shots – 7:39 PM

J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
RJ Hampton is gonna force the maintenance crew to reset the backboards at MSG. not b/c of dunking, either 😎 – 7:38 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Knicks lead the Magic 29-27.
• Randle 8-6-2
• Fournier, Rose 6 pts each
• Cole Anthony 15 pts
Knicks 7-for-13 from deep. – 7:38 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks are on pace to break the 3-point record they set two days ago. – 7:37 PM

J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
Biggest takeaways from watching #Magic in 2+ games …
–Can overdribble
–Play 5 out w/2 bigs but neither can make D respect spread ability
–Offense initiates via wide pin or split action from corner
–Wagner = best moving w/o ball
–Minimal switching but will 4-5 – 7:36 PM

Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie
Julius Randle is playing like he’s still angry that Wendell Carter fouled him late in the blowout against the Magic earlier this weekend. – 7:30 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Julius Randle is a very strong person. – 7:29 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Mo Bamba was trying to catch a body here pic.twitter.com/ZCLKjg8AS3 – 7:26 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Knicks have taken 8 three pointers in five minutes. – 7:20 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks making three-pointers a big part of the offense newsday.com/sports/basketb… via @Newsday – 7:18 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
On Friday in Orlando, eight of the Knicks’ first nine shots were from 3-point land. Today against Orlando, it’s eight of the first 10.
Lotta 3-pointers. – 7:18 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks making the early stories hold up. 4 3-pointers already made. – 7:18 PM

Orlando Magic PR @Magic_PR
The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,132 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.
#MagicTogether – 7:15 PM

Knicks pregame hype video ahead of introductions plays up the NYC angle big – but deservedly so for once with three NYC natives: Kemba, Taj and Obi. – 7:09 PM

Magic game starts at 7 tonight, while Miami plays them in basically 24 hours
Gotta take care of these games before the schedule really starts to ramp up
And another team on the second night of a back to back is a good start – 6:50 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Same starting lineup for the Knicks. Taj Gibson coming off the bench. – 6:41 PM

Knicks going for their third straight win to start the season. Last time they won even their first two was 2012-13 when they started 6-0. – 6:24 PM

Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA
Knicks fans bout to go nuts again at MSG tonight. 🤣 – 6:17 PM

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Jamahl Mosley said Gary Harris is warming up now at Madison Square Garden, and a decision will be made on Harris’ status based off that session. Harris missed Orlando’s first two games with a tweaked hamstring. – 5:35 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
Gary Harris will go through warm up to see if he can play in the @Orlando Magic’s road game tonight against the @New York Knicks. – 5:33 PM

Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Kyle Lowry still listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle for tomorrow’s game vs the Magic. – 5:32 PM

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Kyle Lowry remains questionable for the Heat, for Monday versus Orlando. – 5:31 PM

Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Kyle Lowry (sprained ankle) listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. Magic. Victor Oladipo (out) only other player on Heat injury report. – 5:31 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Don’t count on seeing Luka Samanic this season for the Knicks. Thibodeau said he was arriving soon but pegged for the G League. – 5:29 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Taj Gibson back from paternity leave tonight. – 5:15 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Nerlens is still out tonight but Taj Gibson is back. – 5:15 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN
Nerlens Noel is out. Taj Gibson is playing. – 5:15 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Orlando head coach Jamahl Mosley can’t break habit of his assistant days. More than two hours before tip, Mosley courtside watching a few of his young players run pick-and-roll defensive drills, including Mo Bamba. – 5:07 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Expect Orlando to make some adjustments tonight in rematch at Garden. Less double-teaming of Julius Randle to cover their 3-point shooters. So don’t expect another 24 treys. – 4:38 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Latest injury report posted by the NBA has Taj Gibson as available and Nerlens Noel as doubtful for tonight’s game vs. ORL. Gibson has missed the past 2 games due to personal reasons; Noel has missed all preseason & regular season games due to a knee issue. – 4:32 PM

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Wrote this Friday but never tweeted link: Cole Anthony sought Kemba Walker’s advice before 2020 #NBA Draft. Cole in house tonight. And again Nov. 17 #Magic #Knicks nypost.com/2021/10/22/col… – 2:02 PM

Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
Something I just noticed: Cade Cunningham could make his NBA debut in Detroit on Saturday vs. the Magic. He is going to practice with the Pistons’ G League team this week and could be cleared to play by Saturday. – 1:44 PM
