The Magic hosted the Knicks in Orlando with both teams featuring Euro-ballers in their starting line-ups and respective rosters.
Of course, the big news was the absence of Kristaps Porzingis due to an elbow injury.
The Knicks managed to keep the game close in the first, and were only down four at the half (54-50).
Porzingis’ absence was more than obvious as the team lacked in rim protection and a go-to guy on offense.
The Magic ended up winning the game 112-99 behind 24 and 23 points from Vucevic and Fournier who continue to carry the load offensively.
Vucevic added 5 boards, 4 steals and a block while “Fourny” had 2 boards, 5 assists and 5 steals.
For the losing side, Kanter had 10 points but only played 20 minutes while Willy Hernangomez had 8 points and 3 rebounds in just 7:41 of playing time.
Frank Ntilikina had 6 points, 4rebounds and 9 assists and it seems that it’s only a matter of time until he’s in the starting line-up.
