On January 5, Beijing time, the Knicks beat the Pacers 104-94 to end a two-game losing streak. In this game, Randall and Mitchell Robinson's release of the health and safety agreement was approved, the Knicks led by 7 points in the first quarter, the half-time point difference was erased, and the Knicks led by 7 points again after the third quarter, and the Knicks held a weak lead in the last quarter, but entered the final moments to stabilize the overall situation and finally won.
This game is rare for the Knicks, because both Barrett and Randle cores have exploded, Knicks fans should know that the performance of these two people this season is very unstable, and Randle is even more rare on the defensive end. Barrett took the lead, 6-of-7 in the first quarter, 2-of-2 on three-pointers, 5-of-5 from the free throws, and 19 points and 3 rebounds to help the team build a lead.
In the first half alone, Barrett scored 8-of-12, 2-of-4 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the free throw line, scoring 24 points. You must know that he has averaged only 15.7 points per game this season, and 24 points in the half is already a huge explosion.
Randle was decent in the first half, 5 of 9, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, he was still the data brush, and the rebounds in the backcourt were not lost at all. However, Randle broke out in the third quarter, 5 of 7, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 14 points and 6 rebounds, just one step away from 30+15. Barrett has 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the third quarter and has already scored 30+.
Barrett scored 42 minutes, 12-of-20, 2-of-5 three-pointers, and had 32 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, shooting 60% from the field and 40% from three-point range. 32 points is his second highest single score of the season, and he is really unpredictable, he can play a ghost 5 games.
Randall played 39 minutes, 12-of-20, 2-of-7 three-pointers, 30 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, shooting 60%, 16 rebounds were all backcourt rebounds, everyone knows how obsessed he is with data, right?
After the game, the praise for Barrett obviously exceeded Thatcher Randall, and many fans felt that Barrett had the hope of winning 40+ in this game, but Randle controlled a lot of ball and shot rights in the third quarter. But fortunately, it is a win, otherwise Randall will be sprayed on the hot search again.
