Julius Randle had it going against his former team Los Angeles Lakers. He delivered an All-NBA type of performance with a game-high 31 points, eight rebounds, and five assists that went with 4-of-8 3s. Except that he came up short in the end.
Randle pinned the blame on himself after the New York Knicks suffered a 101-99 overtime heartbreaker to the Lakers late Tuesday night.
The loss capped a 3-3 West Coast trip that was once feared that would make or break the overachieving Knicks’ season.
“Some would call it success,” Randle said.
