Before RJ Barrett knocked down a high-arching three-pointer off the glass to give the Knicks the 108–105 comeback victory against the Celtics, New York had trailed by as many as 25 points and Knicks fans were booing inside Madison Square Garden.

In the process of the Knicks come-from-behind win, Randle, who struggled early on in the game, had a productive second half that helped lead New York back from the deficit. But after a bucket in the fourth quarter of the win, Randle followed up the score with a thumbs down gesture to Knicks fans and an explicit message.
