We have to take advantage of this for as long as it lasts, the undefeated New York Knicks face the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. ET.
The Knicks have been explosive, dominant and in sync so far at the start of the season. That is something we have not been able to say about this New York team in a long while.
Jeremy Lin seems long forgotten as the Knicks have cruised past the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers (twice) and most recently, just in case people were wondering about competing against Western teams, the beat the Dallas Mavericks for their closest win of the season.
That Mavericks game finished 104-94, a 10-point deficit, which has been the smallest margin of victory for this Knicks' team.
Bot the defense and offense have been clicking as the Knicks are able to play well on both sides of the floor.
Yes, we know, Carmelo Anthony is playing defense now, which is a shocker, but it seems like his efforts in the Olympics were not just a one-time thing. He also continues to be one of the best scorers in the league and coming into today Melo is averaging 27.3 points a game while shooting 44 percent overall from the floor and 35 percent from three.
The Magic surprised many when they started the season off 2-0, but as of late, the team has performed to expectations losing four consecutive games for 2-4 record in the season.
Most recently, they were beaten on back-to-back occasions by the Brooklyn Nets. They first one was a horrid 39-point loss, the second matchup was more respectable as they dropped the game 82-74.
