There are 9 victories in a row by the Knicks, who instead interrupt the Canadian’s positive streak at 4. The percentages of the bluarancio team tell it all: 56% from the field, 51.6% from three and 83.3% from the line, with the usual great Julius Randle, R.J. Barrett in double double with 25 points and 12 rebounds and a Derrick Rose still masterful off the bench (19 with 7/10 shooting, 7 assists and only one loss).
Julius Randle, fresh from a race at an altitude of 40 against Atlanta, closes the first half already at 20, and at the final siren touches 31 points and also adds 10 rebounds, for the 38th double double of the season in the 60 races disputed. For him 10/17 shooting but above all an excellent 5/7 from long distance and also 8 trips to the line. And the audience at Madison Square Garden dedicates the “M-V-P” choir to him.
