After he started the game Tuesday against Charlotte with a three-pointer, RJ Barrett lost his touch. He kept shooting but misfired on seven consecutive shots. As both teams were on fire, piling up a total of 126 points in the first half, Barrett was the odd one out.
But in the locker room at halftime Julius Randle came up to him with a simple message.
"Most definitely. He told me in the locker room," Barrett said.
