Mike Breen said it best: “(Julius) Randle shoots better with a defender on him.” Indeed he does, as he matched his career high Friday night with 46 points. Breen referred to the Three-Point Contest, where Randle came in second to last. Unfortunately, Randle’s game doesn’t translate to the All-Star festivities. His 16-29 from the field led the way for the Knicks to overpower the Washington Wizards and win their fourth game in a row during the Josh Hart Era, 115-109.
He was dominant and clutch, hitting two big free throws with almost a minute left in the game.
