NBA score: Knicks top Magic despite bizarre Desmond Bane moment

Orlando Magic guard Desmond Bane was involved in a strange moment with New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby in the fourth quarter of their matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Anunoby had to go up for a fastbreak layup with three Magic defenders around him. He dropped the ball as he went up for the shot and fell out of bounds. The ball remained in bounds as Bane took control of it.

Bane then hit Anunoby with the ball as the Knicks player lay off the court. Technically, the ball was out of bounds by the Knicks. Anunoby stood up and was as confused as everyone watching the match. He shoved Bane as he stood up. Bane received a technical foul.

New York won the game 106-100. Bane and Anunoby appeared to hash things out and hugged each other after the match.
