Add Julius Randle and RJ Barrett to the short list of history’s greatest duos as they took turns piloting the New York Knicks to a 104-94 win over the Indiana Pacers. For the first time ever both players scored 30+, and it was efficient: combined they shot 24-of-40 (60%) for 62 points. The other eight Knickerbockers were 15-of-40 (38%) for 42.
