New York Knicks' Julius Randle Dominates in Win Over Cleveland Cavaliers

The New York Knicks' Julius Randle had a huge game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. The one-time All Star hit on 11 of his 21 shots for 36 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists, topping the Cavaliers 105-103.

Randle also hit eight of his 12 three-point attempts. It was his 14th 30+ point effort of the season, and it lifted his season averages to an impressive 24.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game over 49 appearances. At his current pace, he may very well make his second All Star team.

The Knicks are 26-23 this season and seventh in the Eastern Conference, thanks in no small part to Randle. After a disappointing 2021-22 season in which he hit on .411 of his field goal attempts, Randle has bounced back this season to form a powerful trio with R.J. Barrett and free agent acquisition Jalen Brunson. They've each appeared in 40+ games while scoring 20+ points per game a piece.

The Knicks travel to Boston to face the Celtics on Thursday night.
