Falls back to earth with 17 points Knecht recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.

Impact Knecht had a decent shooting night after wowing the crowds with a scintillating three-point barrage that drew praise from his All-Star teammates.
