The Orlando Magic squandered a 16-point lead at the Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. They were still up 90-78 entering the last period, but ultimately suffered a defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks and remained one win outside of the Eastern Conference’s playoffs zone.

Nikola Vucevic scored 26 points with 12/19 from the field including 2/2 three-pointers. He also grabbed 11 boards for his 44th double-double of the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season, but wasn’t enough for the visitors. He added six assists, three blocks and one steal to his tally.
