New York enters tonight's game 4-0, and they'll be put to the test against a Dwight-less Orlando Magic team.
While New York is playing the best basketball they've played in a decade, the same cannot be said for Orlando.
However, let's not be fooled. Orlando won't be knocking on the playoffs' door, but they're not a team to be taken lightly—that's how games slip away.
Final box score provided by NBA.com.
Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks in scoring with 25 points, but right behind him were both Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith each with 21 points of their own.
For the Magic, seven players in double figures, just no one to be that go-to scorer.
J.J. Redick led the way with 18 points and seven assists.
These two won't meet again until January 5, so anything is possible between now and then.
