Mike Brown has vowed the New York Knicks will shoot way more threes now that he's at the helm. It took the team exactly 12 minutes of preseason basketball to prove that he wasn't kidding.
The Knicks fired up 13 triples in the first-quarter of their Abu Dhabi matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. That comes out to about 39 attempts per 48 minutes. It just so happens Brown mentioned 40 long-range attempts as a potential target number days before opening tipoff.
“I mean if we get 40 [threes], I’m cool with it,” he told reporters, via Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News.
