Julius Randle scored a profession high 57 focuses, yet that wasn’t sufficient to save the New York Knicks from a frustrating 140-134 misfortune to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night at Madison Square Nursery.

“It’s a disgrace to squander an exhibition like that,” Knicks mentor Tom Thibodeau said after the game.

Randle’s strength was clear all through the initial 3/4 of an unprotected exhibit in which the Knicks followed by upwards of 17. Randle poured in a group record 26 focuses in the second from last quarter, bringing the Knicks back into the game, yet the Top pick forward couldn’t will his group across the end goal, scoring only five focuses in the fourth.

“He played so well,” Knicks monitor Jalen Brunson said. “He brought us back, he played extraordinary. We just became better collectively to assist him with causing that professional night to feel like something uniquely amazing. Yet, when that’s what you lose, sort of hacks all the inclination out of everything.”

Randle was 19-for-29 from the field and 8-for-14 from 3-point range in passing his past professional best of 46 places. He played 37 minutes and made 11 of 13 endeavors from the free toss line.

Randle’s 52 focuses after 3/4 were poised to overshadow Carmelo Anthony’s establishment record 62, scored in a game against the Charlotte Wildcats on Jan. 24, 2014. Anthony’s 62 likewise addresses the most focuses scored in a game at Madison Square Nursery (beginning around 1968). Next on that rundown are James Solidify (2019) and Kobe Bryant (2009), both with 61.

Besides Anthony, Bernard Lord was the just other Knicks player to raise a ruckus around the town point mark, doing so on Dec. 25, 1984, against the New Jersey Nets.

The proud big man was shot in his postgame comments, but he did open up a little more while discussing what it meant to him to be able to put his name up on a Madison Square Garden scoring list with Anthony and King.

“Those are legends in this game,” Randle said. “And pioneers, specifically for this organization, who laid the groundwork and led the way for players like myself to come behind them, be able to play the game I love. Be able to grind, put on that Knicks jersey with pride.”

The difference for the Knicks on Monday night was a lack of intensity on the defensive end. The Timberwolves got to the rim almost at will throughout Monday’s game, shooting 61.4% from the field.

In the game’s last 30 seconds, the Knicks by and by couldn’t get a guarded stop when they required one, surrendering a hostile bounce back and afterward a Taurean Ruler dunk in the last seconds to seal the success.

The disappointment that had been working throughout the night finished with Randle getting a specialized foul and coordinating a couple of additional words at ref Eric Lewis on his way off the floor after the game finished. Randle recognized that the specialization, which came in the wake of hurling the ball down following Sovereign’s dunk, was because of the reality he couldn’t make the play he needed.

Randle is confident that, sooner or later down the line, he will want to reflect emphatically about his presentation. In any case, the way that the Knicks couldn’t concoct the success hosed the temperament in the storage space.

“Ideally I will want to [enjoy it],” Randle said. “Be that as it may, this evening, likely not.”
