The New York Knicks are coming off a tough loss to the Milwaukee Bucks by 33 points. Without Derrick Rose as the starting point guard, New York struggled to get things going on both sides of the ball. All-Star Julius Randle had just seven points, showcasing his worst performance to date. He believes it was an anomaly, and I would tend to agree with him based on the simple fact that he’s averaging 22.8 points this season.
Teams are realizing that stopping him is the key to success against the Knicks, so double-teaming him and forcing turnovers has been successful at times.
