Julius Randle has lifted the New Knicks to Cloud 9 with his phenomenal performance last night against Toronto Raptors.
Randle finished the game with another 31 points, and the Knicks swiped the opponent by 120-103 points in the Saturday matinee game at Madison Square Garden. Julius added ten rebounds with one assist and eventually completed the double-double.
Among his 31 points, Randle also snapped a 3-pointer right at OG Anunoby’s Face. After that, Randle talked a lot of trash to OG Anunoby. “You Can’t FU** With Me,” Randle said to OG after hitting the 3-pointer. However, Anunoby did not react to that, as his team was losing brutally.

It was Randle’s seventh game with more than 30 points and 10 plus rebounds in the 2020-21 season. Last night’s performance remarked Randle’s eight-game career where he knocked down five or more triples. Before starting this season, Julius had just one triple performance.
Since the beginning of this season, the 26-year-old continues to show his growth as a complete NBA player. However, throughout his last night’s 39 minutes of play, Randle completed three triples and scored 13 points in the first quarter alone. On top of that, he aimed to shoot 10-for-17 from the field and 5-for-7 from 3-point range to snap the victory from the Raptors.
