King, whose team record was broken by Anthony in 2014, offered nothing but praise for Randle, well beyond Monday’s historic performance.
MIAMI — Bernard King has been in attendance at “quite a few” Knicks games at Madison Square Garden this season, by his estimation, but he wasn’t there Monday night when Julius Randle nearly joined him in an exclusive club in team history., fell just short of joining King and franchise record-holder Carmelo Anthony in scoring at least 60 points in one game for the Knicks.
“That we lost,” King told Sports+ on Wednesday in a telephone interview. “Obviously, all Julius wants to do is win. I considered myself a winner, and I just wanted to win that ballgame. Not because I had a great number of points, but it’s all about winning. I would have taken less points to win the game.“However, I did have a dynamic day, it was an afternoon game on Christmas Day.
Julius Randle’s inside-out scoring punch led to a 57-point outburst in Monday night’s loss to the Timberwolves.Randle entered Wednesday night’s game averaging 29.5 points and 3.9 made 3-pointers over 13 appearances since the break. He was limited to just 15 points with nine assists in“He’s extended his jump shot to 3-point range, and that opens up opportunities for him to put the ball on the floor,” said King, who led the NBA in scoring in 1984-85 with 32.
“I remember I was traveling at the time, and I landed in Houston and had all these messages on my voicemail system asking if I saw the game. I didn’t, because I was in flight, but Melo was such a great player and scorer.
