NEW YORK -- Knicks All-Star forward Julius Randle did not play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 102-93 Game 4 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers and continues to struggle to find an offensive rhythm in the series, but coach Tom Thibodeau said a major reason for Randle's performance is that he is still playing through a left ankle injury he suffered at the end of the regular season.
"Julius is our horse," Thibodeau said after the game, when asked whether he had to speak to Randle about being benched down the stretch given his status on the team.
