by privatebet.com - 2021/10/24
The New York Knicks scored an epic win against the Orlando Magic in their latest NBA match, but that’s not the only thing that made their victory unforgettable. The Knicks also managed to set a new franchise record for three-point makes and finished the game with whooping 24 three-pointers. Julius Randle ended the game with a total of 21 points and 10 rebounds. Evan Fournier was right behind with 18 points against his former team. They had tough competitions in the rookie Jalen Suggs, who scored 14 points for the Magic, but failed to stop the Knicks in their track. What makes their latest win so impressive is the fact they managed to set a new record for three-pointers scored in a single game with a total of 24. Their past record was 20, and the head coach Tom Thibodeau applauded their historic achievement. “I think it’s a reflection of the team playing for each other and just making the right play. We talked about it a lot of wanting to shoot more 3s, but we want them to be the right 3s. When the second defender comes, guys are making the right read,” said Thibodeau after the game. The Knicks will face the Orlando Magic again on Monday night before playing against new opponents, starting with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Chicago Bulls.
