Nay, the Knicks did not just beat the Nets. They bamboozled them. Shellacked them. Tallywackered them. Wait.
The Knicks must have asked Santa for some extra confidence (or maybe competence?) for Christmas yesterday, because damn, they had it going on in this game. Julius Randle in particular was far and away the star for the Knicks, dropping 33 points and eight rebounds on 14-26 shooting (including a career-high five 3-pointers).
Julius Randle finishes the half on fire, ending with 20 points, and the Knicks are up 46-41 at the break pic.
