Fresh from his second All-Star appearance, Julius Randle continued his redemptive arc.
Randle rallied the New York Knicks past the Washington Wizards, 115-109, Friday night at the Capital One Arena to have a firm grip of the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks came back from a 19-point deficit behind Randle’s career-high-tying 46 points.
Randle hit 7 of 14 from downtown as he and Jalen Brunson alternately made clutch plays down the stretch.
Randle scored five points — the go-ahead triple and two clutch free throws — within nine seconds to give the Knicks a 109-106 lead with 1:16 left.
