Tonight he was too strong. The Heat will have tried everything to win this match, including registering complicated baskets at the end of the game to put an end to the suspense. Too bad, because the boss of South Beach was named Julius Randle for 48 minutes. 43 points for the Knicks star, who scored his team’s last six points with a huge 3-point shot for the win. New York signs its eighth victory in a row!
An XXL job, that’s how we might familiarly describe Julius Randle’s performance tonight on the Miami side.
A big historical duel of the East, between the two main cities of the East coast, you followed. In short, a little more extra-basketball stake which can only make the case more pleasant to watch. Well pissed on our part, because it was given to both sides throughout the first quarter. No clear leader, before the Knicks finally emerge as the best team tonight. Julius Randle is already at twenty pawns at halftime, rather in good shape the client.
Even with almost twenty points behind, Erik Spoelstra’s men did not give up and returned to the backs of the Big Apple at the end of the match. Thank you Jimmy Butler, who notably caused 12 faults this evening. Impressive, but not enough to make the Knicks lose their nerves. In a room surprised by the cause of the visitors, the Heat must find Jimmy Butler then Tyler Herro late in the game to put South Beach ahead. Two complicated baskets, disputed, but inside.
The fade away is sublime, and clutch.pic.twitter.com/gIrLCWYw3E

120-119 Miami with twenty seconds to play and no time out for Tom Thibodeau. We did not go far from the big task in the boxer shorts in first intention with Jalen Brunson, but Julius Randle is a zinzin. Emergency recovery of the ball with a few seconds, shift in the 3-point wing with Tyler Herro in close bodyguard mode. Nothing to do, the strong man of the Bockers is tonight in another world. Unbalanced shot from the parking lot validated in string, 120-122. Miami will not recover. Julius Randle signs 43 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists at 16/25 shooting including… 8/13 from 3-pointers! Hot, we told you.
