Knicks 99, Magic 89: Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points and visiting New York pulled away in the fourth quarter to remain the league's only unbeaten team.
Raymond Felton poured in a season-high 21 points and J.R. Smith also had 21 in another stellar effort off the bench as the Knicks improved to 5-0 for the first time since the 1993-94 season.
J.J. Redick had 18 points and seven assists to lead seven players in double figures for the Magic, including all five starters, but it wasn't enough to prevent Orlando from enduring its fifth consecutive defeat. Rookie Moe Harkless added 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots.
The Knicks took control early in the fourth quarter, when Jason Kidd scored five straight points to spark a 12-2 run that Anthony capped with a 3-pointer for a 91-82 lead with 5:05 to play.
The Magic, who had failed to top 75 points in their previous three games, fell behind by 10 early in the second quarter but used an 18-4 run en route to taking a 53-49 halftime lead.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The game was delayed after the first quarter when a member of the Magic acrobatics team landed hard on her neck and head during a routine. She was taken off the court on a stretcher to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where she was breathing on her own and had movement in all her extremities. ... Smith has scored in double figures in all five games for New York and is averaging 20 points in his last four. ... Magic starting PG Jameer Nelson missed his sixth consecutive game with groin and hamstring injuries.
