Wagner, Magic use big fourth quarter to drop Knicks to 0-3 with 111-102 victory

The Magic outscored New York 35-16 over the final nine-plus minutes and handed the defending champions their first 0-3 start since 2011-12.

  • Franz Wagner scored 21 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter Sunday night, leading the Orlando Magic to a 111-102 victory over the defending champion New York Knicks for their first win of the season.
  • Trailing by 10 points with nine-plus minutes remaining, the Magic outscored New York 35-16 down the stretch, powered by a season-high 18 three-pointers and 42.9% shooting from beyond the arc.
  • Anthony Black and Tristan Da Silva each made five three-pointers off the bench, with Black finishing with 18 points to help overcome the absence of leading scorer Paolo Banchero.
  • Starting point guard Jalen Suggs suffered an apparent right knee injury late in the fourth quarter after landing awkwardly, leaving his status uncertain heading into Wednesday's matchup at Toronto.
  • The Knicks fell to 0-3, becoming the first defending NBA champion since the 2011-12 Dallas Mavericks to open a season with three straight losses, and will attempt to rebound Tuesday against Detroit.
