Julius Randle went crazy in the Garden on Monday night. In a match-up against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Randle dropped a career-high 57 points but still fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 140-134.
Randle’s points were dropped in a come-from-behind effort as the Knicks were down as much as 17 points. A third-quarter explosion of 26 points from Randle brought the team closer, but it wasn’t enough to get the team over the hump.
Randle shot 19-for-29 from the field, including shooting over 50% (8-for-14) from three. He also made 11 of 13 free throws through 37 minutes of game action.
