New York Knicks' Julius Randle says thumbs-down gesture meant to shush booing fans at Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK -- Despite helping his team engineer a remarkable comeback from 25 points down against the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, star forward Julius Randle wasn't happy.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Randle made a layup and, as he ran back to the other end of the court, gave the sellout crowd a thumbs down as they cheered his name.

When asked after the game what message he was trying to get across to the fans, Randle didn't mince his words.

"Shut the f--- up," he said.
