The New York Knicks let the Charlotte Hornets come within one point in the third quarter, and then remembered every point counts. Julius Randle led the way with 25 points and an eye-popping 20 rebounds in the Knicks’ 115-91 victory, putting New York in the In-Season Tournament’s quarterfinal.
Josh Hart, after voicing frustrations about his role in the offense, had his best game of the season. He added 17 points and six rebounds off the bench.
It was a typical Knicks blow out. New York controlled most of the game and Charlotte carried momentum here and there.
