Today’s brief

The defending champion Knicks slumped to an 0-3 start following a 111-102 loss to the Orlando Magic, matching the 2011 Mavericks for the worst opening skid by a titleholder in 15 years. Head coach Mike Brown criticized his squad’s focus and effort after blowing a 10-point lead, which included benching veteran center Andre Drummond for the second half. New York must urgently sort out rotation chemistry and late-game execution before the slump deepens.
