In contrast, Randall's performance in this game is sluggish, and he has not been able to help the team score at key moments, it can be said that Randle's performance this season is really disappointing, and Randle has 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 6 of 17 in the end of the game. And the Cavaliers win the game, the Nets rivals the Bucks really have to be careful, after all, the current Cavaliers are only 0.5 wins behind the Bucks, and the Cavaliers may complete the counter-overtaking at any time in the next game, so the Bucks really can't be careless at this time.
