The Orlando Magic return home after their winning road trip to take on a strong New York Knicks team that will test their interior.

It is easy to see that he is a step slow at times as he manages that pain. But Carter is ninth in the league with 4.4 screen assists per game. The big area where Carter makes an impact though is with his screening. He is averaging 30.8 points per game in his last five games, shooting 50.9 percent from the floor to boot. They are suddenly right in the thick of the postseason chase, with ground to make up, and they are a confident bunch who feels they can take that next step fairly quickly. Orlando has strong defenders, but the team has struggled with its switching scheme against guards. A lot of Wendell Carter does seems to go unseen. They have a clear identity, they put pressure on defense and they swarm teams on the other end. To do that will take winning games like this one against the New York Knicks. He is averaging 2.6 deflections per game this year according to NBA.com’s hustle stats. 5 when Suggs returned from his ankle soreness, he is averaging 2.4 deflections per game.

Orlando Magic better learn playoff basketball takes precision and ... (Orlando Magic Daily)

The Orlando Magic are in the postseason hunt. The young team has a lot to learn about playoff basketball. And Tuesday showed them the poise it takes to win.

They needed to make a shot and have the confidence to make a shot. He was the one willing to drive to the hoop and finish with a flourish. Yes, Franz Wagner had his turn with 12 of his 18 points in the first half and Paolo Banchero had his turn with 11 of his 16 in the third quarter. That is the difference in seeding in the regular season and the difference between taking control of a series and being completely out of a series. Anytime the Magic needed a basket, Fultz was the one generating offense as the team seemed stagnant and unable to get the ball moving to the open man. The Knicks gave the Magic one more chance, but they elected to go for two and the Knicks won the free throw game to hold on for a 102-98 victory. It sucks because you feel like you are up the entire game and you lose. They had control, leading by as much as 12 points in the game and seemingly extending it back out every time the Knicks made a push. The Knicks needed the game to keep up in the race to avoid the Play-In Tournament, the Magic needed it to close the gap further in their chase to reach the postseason. That is the cruelty of this game. The Knicks came out of the timeout and got Jalen Brunston to beat Markelle Fultz off the dribble. The Orlando Magic and New York Knicks were in a back-and-forth battle through the fourth quarter.
