Julius Randle suffers clunker amid ‘incredible month’ for Knicks
NY Post
The Knicks’ winning streak and Julius Randle’s massive roll ended Monday in the 118-110 loss to the Suns.
Randle had scored at least 30 points in six of the previous seven games, including two 40-plus nights. But against Phoenix, Randle, the NBA’s leader in minutes, looked worn down as he was held to 18 points and shot 6 of 17 from the field. He also had just four assists and six rebounds with three turnovers. He faced a ton of double teams and didn’t have the juice to break through. “He’s had an incredible month,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “So he’s going to have a lot of attention that’s going to require a lot of energy. He’s double-teamed on almost every play. But he’s in unbelievable shape. He’s our engine, and I have a lot of confidence in him.”More Related News
