Paolo Banchero, Jalen Brunson hurt; Magic hand Knicks 1st home loss

In a notable NBA matchup, the Orlando Magic triumphed over the New York Knicks, marking the Knicks' first home loss of the season. This game was particularly challenging for the Magic, as they played without their star player Paolo Banchero, who was injured, and faced a Knicks team that had been strong at home. Franz Wagner stepped up impressively, scoring 28 points, with a significant contribution of 13 points during a decisive second-quarter run that helped the Magic establish control. The outcome not only highlights the Magic's depth and resilience but also raises questions about the Knicks' home performance moving forward, especially in light of their recent struggles against a depleted opponent.
