Knicks rookie Mitchell Robinson made his first start in his NBA career Friday night against the Warriors.

David Fizdale had seen enough to know he needed to see something drastically different.

After running out the same starters in the Knicks’ first five games of the season, the first-year coach shook up the lineup, with three changes in Friday night’s game against the Warriors.

Noah Vonleh, Damyean Dotson and rookie Mitchell Robinson made their first starts of the season, while Enes Kanter, Lance Thomas and Trey Burke were sent to the bench.
