<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After Keith Van Horn left, Tracy McGrady finally appeared. McGrady spoiled a solid debut by Van Horn, overcoming poor shooting with a pair of clutch baskets down the stretch as the Orlando Magic rallied for an 85-83 overtime victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday. McGrady made just 9-of-23 shots but finished with 26 points and helped Orlando overcome a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. His follow shot with 0.5 seconds left sent the game into overtime. Van Horn, who arrived via the offseason trade that sent popular Latrell Sprewell to Minneota, was a target for jeers during the preseason. He quickly won over the fans at Madison Square Garden by scoring 29 points and grabbing eight rebounds. But Van Horn fouled out with 34 seconds remaining in regulation. By that time, the Knicks had blown most of a 73-63 lead with 3:43 remaining in the fourth period. Van Horn didn't receive much help from his teammates. Allan Houston and Kurt Thomas scored 10 points apiece on a combined 8-of-30 shooting. The Knicks shot 40 percent (32-of-80) overall. </div> Full Story Box Score
Couldn't have asked for a better game from Van Horn (besides the turnovers, but then the rest of the starting 5 had TO probs too). Kurt Thomas had a good game too, IMO, even if his shooting was poor.
I'm a huge Magic fan, and the Magic definetely didn't deserve to win this game with how bad they played.
I was pissed that the knicks lost an EASY won that night. There was no expanation y the knicks was even forced to go into OT.
