New York’s coach had been asked a series of questions about his team taking a franchise record 54 3s and making a franchise record 24 in the Knicks’ 121-96 rout of the Magic in Orlando on Friday night. “I just want them to understand the value of shots,” Thibodeau said in his pregame availability. Rather, he emphasized the importance of taking the right shot. Knicks: Tom Thibodeau does not want his team taking shots just for the sake of taking shots. The league has tracked starters’ average age as far back as the 1970-71 season. According to Elias Sports, Orlando’s starting lineup of Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr., and Mo Bamba had an average age of 21 years and 213 days, and was the youngest opening lineup in NBA history. This is a great experience for them to have to walk into and learn from.”. “Playing very good, physical, top basketball teams. “It is a definite opportunity for these young guys to experience the league at this level,” Mosley said before the game. That means Mosley’s job will be molding young players into professionals. Magic: Entering the season, the Magic had nine players aged 23 or younger and have an average age of 25.1 years. So now maintain that level and then not just maintaining, but building off of it.” “We've put ourselves at a level, we've kind of shown a level we can play at. We showed ourselves tonight, showed the coaching staff, showed everyone how we can be a pretty good team,” Anthony said. That didn't do much as the Magic were able to hang on and record their first win of the season. The Magic used a 12-0 spurt over the first 2:40 to take an 86-80 lead, highlighted by a 3-pointer by Ross and a thunderous dunk by Moritz Wagner over Obi Toppin that prompted Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau to call timeout. While the Knicks opened an insurmountable lead Friday, the Magic hung around this time and entered the fourth quarter trailing by six points, 80-74. Just multiple efforts, making sure we contested all shots.” “Our guys did a good job recognizing who was where and we flew around the court. Understanding who are the shooters (and who) are not the shooters," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said when asked what specifically had changed for his team defensively between the two games. “We picked up ball pressure a little bit. The Knicks finished 13 for 48 from long distance. But that didn't last as New York made six more 3-pointers over the final three quarters. They picked up where they left off, knocking down 7 of 13 3s in the first quarter. In that game, the Knicks set team records for 3-pointers attempted (54) and 3-pointers made (24). New York had routed Orlando 121-96 on Friday in Florida. The Eastern Conference rivals were playing the second half of a home-and-home series. “They just played harder than us,” Randle said.
