Julius Randle corralled Game 1's key rebound. Because this is what All-Stars do. Need a play, and they’ll make it — bad ankle and all. New York picked each other up. And they won a pivotal Game 1, FredKatz writes.
Randle was not perfect during his return from a sprained left ankle. He missed 13 of 20 shots and scored only three points in the second half after coming out firing. Heck, he even took a risk trying for what is now the biggest offensive rebound in a season littered with big-time boards. Because, the Cavaliers player responsible for guarding Randle, was shading so far off him to monitor Brunson, Randle had a lane to the hoop.
From the outside, it wasn’t clear if Randle would participate in Game 1. The last time he played was March 29, when he sprained his ankle against the. He never went through contact drills in practice. The Knicks listed him as questionable coming into the evening. “See me breathing out there today? I was tired. I was tired as hell for sure,” Randle said. “That’s why we have such a great team. Able to lean on the guys: J.B., Josh , everybody. We’re able to pick each other up.”
Leave it to this group to seal its first playoff game in two years with clutch offensive boards. After all, this is what the Knicks do.No other playoff team relies more on snagging its misses to score. There are moments when the Knicks’ best offense is a clunker, if only because a way-off jumper might as well be a pass to Hartenstein, Hart or, but they’re still vulnerable on the boards.
