The New York Knicks face off against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday evening, coming off a difficult loss against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Losing by just two points to Brooklyn, the Knicks desperately needed a win over a playoff-bound team, but once again, they force-fed the ball to Julius Randle in the final moments, who missed another shot to give the Knicks a chance at victory.
Despite the loss, Randle finished with 19 points, and second-year guard RJ Barrett earned 22. Barrett has experienced solid development this season at 20 years old and was red-hot shooting in the fourth quarter despite Julius earning the final shot of the contest.
