A missed rebound and an emotional outburst ruined Julius Randle’s historic night.
Randle scored a career-high 57 points, the most by a Knicks player since Carmelo Anthony’s 62 in 2014, but the New York Knicks still came up short.
Role player Taurean Prince played like a star for the shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves to deal the Knicks a gut-wrenching 140-134 loss Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
Prince scored 35 points and hit the dagger leading to a Randle technical foul that sealed the Knicks’ loss that snapped their three-game winning streak.
In frustration, Randle slammed the ball hard on the floor after Prince made it 139-134, an automatic technical foul.
