Julius Randle’s 25th double-double this season included 23 more points and 16 more rebounds. He should be considered for dunk of the year according to the fans for his huge slam in the third quarter over Wizards center Daniel Gafford.
Soon after the incredible dunk from the superstar, fans were in disbelief and started to take social media by storm. One fan wrote, “I saw tears in his eyes” and another one remarked, “That’s going to leave a mark!”, one more fan commented, “Not Gafford again”. As the Wizards’ center has been on a lot of posters and embarrassing end lately. You can find some more reactions here below:
The Knicks have won 13 of their previous 19 games to move into the top six spots in the Eastern Conference. When they go to face the mediocre Detroit Pistons on Sunday, they will have yet another fantastic chance to keep racking up victories. In their previous 11 encounters, the Knicks have prevailed, including three victories this year by an average score of 21 points.
Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson lead Knicks to first win in Toronto since 2015
Despite not doing well in the initial results of NBA All-Star fan voting. Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson persisted in making their individual arguments for selection in Canada last week when they faced the Toronto Raptors.
Following a five-game losing streak, Randle poured in 32 points as the Knicks defeated the Raptors at Scotiabank Arena, 112-108, to earn their fourth straight victory. Additionally, it was the Knicks’ first victory on the road against the Raptors since Nov. 10, 2015, snapping an 11-game losing run.
“Oh my goodness, it’s about time we won one of those types of games,” Randle said. “We made free throws down the end and executed down the stretch. And they don’t hit every single ridiculous shot.” “The way he’s playing is just unheard of,” Brunson also added some sweet words for Randle. Further, he mentioned, “He’s playing really well. He’s playing with confidence and he’s having fun. So it’s really awesome to see how he’s been able to kind of bounce back”. The Knicks and Raptors though will be facing each other once again and this time at Madison Square Garden on Monday, 16th January 2023.
