NEW YORK — – Jalen Brunson<\/a> had 30 points and nine assists, Josh Hart<\/a> added 17 points and 12 rebounds, and the New York Knicks<\/a> beat the Orlando Magic<\/a> 106-100 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

OG Anunoby<\/a> had 21 points and seven rebounds, and Mikal Bridges<\/a> finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists. The Knicks (16-7) improved to 13-1 at home, and defeated the Magic for the first time in three meetings, despite playing without center Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> (left calf tightness).<\/p>\n

Desmond Bane<\/a> had 16 points and six rebounds, and Anthony Black<\/a> had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Magic (14-10), who lost star forward Franz Wagner<\/a> in the first quarter due to a lower left leg injury.<\/p>\n

Wagner, who leads Orlando with 23.4 points per game, had seven points in seven minutes but landed awkwardly after going up for a dunk after being fouled by Knicks center Ariel Hukporti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wagner immediately grabbed at the area below his knee and needed help getting to the locker room. The Magic announced he would be re-evaluated when they returned to Orlando ahead of their NBA Cup quarterfinal against Miami on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

After the Magic led by one at halftime, the Knicks took control with a 13-0 run to open the third quarter. Brunson had six of his 10 third-quarter points in the run, and the Knicks outscored the Magic 28-18 in the period.<\/p>\n

New York then opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run, building a 89-73 lead.<\/p>\n

Bane rankled the Knicks in the fourth quarter when he threw the ball at Anunoby’s back while the Knicks forward was out of bounds to preserve Orlando’s possession. Bane received a technical foul.<\/p>\n
