Julius Randle backed up his big words and Christmas promise.
After Monday’s disaster against the depleted Wizards, Randle was extremely vocal, saying the Knicks had a “terrible approach to the game” from the morning shootaround on and asked his teammates, including himself, to “look in the mirror’’ over Christmas.
Thursday, Randle was unstoppable on offense and became part of a Knicks defense that throttled the Nets into a 26.9 percent shooting night as Mike Miller’s group posted a stunning 94-82 rout at Barclays Center.
Randle, the $63 million man, racked up 33 points and hit a career-high five 3-pointers on nine attempts, finishing 14 of 26 overall, with eight rebounds.
