The New York Knicks played close to a perfect game Friday night, just in time to prepare for the team keeping them from a perfect start at home.

The Knicks will look to avenge their only home loss of the season on Sunday afternoon when they host the Orlando Magic.

Both teams were off Saturday after earning wins at home Friday night.

The Knicks rode a historic game-opening run to a 146-112 rout of the Utah Jazz.

The Magic, in turn, welcomed back Paolo Banchero, who helped Orlando stave off a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Miami Heat to earn a 106-105 victory.

The Knicks are 12-1 at home, the best start for the team since the 1992-93 edition opened 13-1. Only the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder (11-0) are better on their home court this season.
