Julius Randle scored a career-high 57 points, but it wasn't enough to save the Knicks from a disappointing 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday night.

Randle is hopeful that, at some point down the line, he will be able to reflect positively about his performance. The frustration that had been building throughout the night culminated in Randle receiving a technical foul and directing a few more words at referee Eric Lewis on his way off the floor after the game ended. Be able to grind, put on that Knicks jersey with pride." "And pioneers, specifically for this organization, who laid the groundwork and led the way for players like myself to come behind them, be able to play the game I love. Randle's 52 points after three quarters were on pace to eclipse Carmelo Anthony's franchise-record 62, scored in a game against the Charlotte Bobcats on Jan. Randle's dominance was apparent throughout the first three quarters of a defenseless showcase in which the Knicks trailed by as many as 17.

Then Randle came back and went 9 for 10 in the third, hitting 5 for 6 beyond the arc. He raised his hand to fault himself after the one miss, an ill-advised attempt that missed the rim by a couple feet. The Wolves led 42-32 after one, shooting 16 for 22 (72.7%). Randle made eight 3-pointers in surpassing his previous career high of 46 points. But the Knicks had their three-game winning streak snapped. His three free throws gave Minnesota the lead for good with 2:17 remaining.

Jackson picked up his fourth and fifth fouls within a span of three seconds and he left the game with 7:10 left in the third. played most of the game in foul trouble but led Memphis with 28 points, while Santi Aldama scored 22 points and grabbed a career-high 14 boards to earn his fourth double-double of the season. also recorded a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Following a turnover by James Harden, the Bulls had one last chance to win the game but DeRozan misfired on a 3-pointer to force a second extra session. DeRozan hit consecutive shots to tie the game before LaVine and Coby White sealed the victory with two free throws apiece in the final 51.4 seconds of the second overtime. Mike Conley (24 points, 11 assists) had a double-double for the Timberwolves, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

The Knicks' not-so-great West Coast trip taught them some valuable lessons that they can use as the playoffs approach.

Both obviously can contribute to a winning team, but they struggle with maintaining themselves and their game for large stretches in the same way that Brunson, Randle, and even Quickley have been able to do. New York is solidly in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a team that feels like the best its been since the Carmelo Anthony years. That has been the case for much of this season with both Barrett and Grimes – you hope for consistency after they string together a stretch of solid play, only to let you down. Despite that loss, though, there was some hope to be mined from their performances as the Knicks kicked off their trip with that game against Sacramento. Using Randle as a way to draw attention from defenses and making them pay with his passing is paramount to their ability to be successful once the first round starts. In their two losses to the Kings and Clippers, New York could not for the life of them take advantage of the numerous second chances they were receiving from Hart, Mitchell Robinson and Immanuel Quickley. He’s fairly efficient with that shot, making 40.2 of them, but it often leads to a ton of isolation play from him and that ends up leading the offense. As of now, the old Atlanta Hawks playbook used in their 2020-21 campaign that saw Randle completely shut down on offense could very well work against this team, albeit with less success given that they have just as good of a shooter in Brunson on the floor with Randle. As a result, the offense stagnated when it really needed more of a flow to find anyone with a hot hand. For the Knicks to consistently score, especially without one of their two most reliable players on offense like they were for all four games with Brunson out, they’ll need to take advantage of every little mistake the opposing defense is making. They’ve not only defied expectations when it comes to whether or not they’d make the play-in, let alone the playoffs, but they have so much to root for — depth, a young core, and two stars in Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson to rely on in battles over by the Pacific. But, the West Coast trip has come and gone, with the Knicks going 2-2 over that span.

(We were) just a step slow all night and then they just made us pay, hitting 3s,” Immanuel Quickley said. New York lost 140-134.

And on those more normal nights, the Knicks could still leave Prince open and he may shoot a paltry 75 percent from deep instead of his can’t-miss 100. On another, he went after a layup, which opened up the paint for a dump-off and a bucket. Randle’s 26 points in the third quarter, which came on 9-of-10 shooting, is a franchise record for scoring in a single period. He swerved around the large-bodied [Rudy Gobert](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/rudy-gobert-HoB7w4Z5ROZnzHO4/) and then his own teammate, [Isaiah Hartenstein](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/isaiah-hartenstein-hjMEcIELScZcAVNC/), who was blocking the way until he finally got to Conley. [Minnesota Timberwolves](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/timberwolves/) point guard [Mike Conley](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/mike-conley-ATGxUh1i1HZNS4FM/) fielded an inbound pass as Quickley tried his hardest to fight through a screen. Then again, it was an off night for most. He’s in a defensive stance from play to play. “They shot like 70 percent from 3 in the first half. Minnesota shot 77 percent from deep in the first half. The play spurred an 8-0 run for the Wolves, which helped them eventually close out a victory. And it’s why the team fell 140-134. But on a night like this, a moment is all anyone needed.

Julius Randle scored 57 points, matching the third-highest total by a New York Knicks player, during a 140-134 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“I’m such a results-driven person, I try to focus on the process a little bit more and taking the necessary steps to get better and build as a team,” Randle said. So I didn’t get the job done.” “If we do that, we have a chance to win the game — or not win the game, but at least tie the game.

Then Randle came back and went 9 for 10 in the third, hitting 5 for 6 beyond the arc. He raised his hand to fault himself after the one miss, an ill-advised attempt that missed the rim by a couple feet. “If we do that, we have a chance to win the game — or not win the game, but at least tie the game. But the Knicks had their three-game winning streak snapped. Julius Randle scored 57 points in one of the greatest nights in Knicks history. His three free throws gave Minnesota the lead for good with 2:17 remaining.

Without Anthony Edwards and KAT, the Wolves still beat the Knicks despite 57 points from Julius Randle.

Similarly, Taurean Prince took the [fewest shots to reach 35 points this season](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/fewest-shots-to-get-35-points-in-single-game), leading Minnesota in the winning effort. With the Kings’ loss and the Grizzlies’ win, there’s a new No. It’s the eighth road win of the season for the Warriors; that’s the fourth-fewest in the league. Despite playing the most minutes across the league by a significant margin, the Sixers scored the fewest points of the night and the Bulls scored the fourth-fewest. Julius Randle embodied that in his own right with 57 points (19-29 from the floor, 8-14 from three), including 26 when the Knicks got back into the game during the third quarter, a new record for any Knicks quarter. He did even better than that, finishing with 37 points (his tenth 30-ball in a row), 16 rebounds, and three blocks, but couldn’t come out with the win this time.

He was beloved by New York fans for his willingness to play hurt, as memorably exemplified in the decisive Game 7 of the 1970 N.B.A. finals at Madison ...

Reed did return to the Knicks in a nominal administrative role around the turn of the century. Reed halted the scrimmage, approached Russell and asked what he was doing. In the film, “When the Garden Was Eden,” Reed sheepishly called it “a good fight.” Beginning his third season with the Knicks, Reed was embroiled in a battle with the Lakers’ “Didn’t have the houses the white folks have, didn’t have a car,” he said in 2009. Driving out of Ann Arbor, where he was visiting with friends, Russell was pulled over by the police and ordered out of the car at gunpoint. Told that the team wanted him to earn it on the court, Reed accepted the challenge and vowed to make Donovan pay him after the season. Within the Knicks organization, he was known to be generous with teammates in an era when financial rewards in professional sports were not as substantial as they are today. In 1996, he was chosen by the N.B.A. He was part of the Nets’ front office when the team lost consecutive N.B.A. He was chosen by the N.B.A. When the Knicks went out to warm up before the start of Game 7, Reed stayed behind in the trainer’s room for treatment.

Willis Reed, the Hall of Fame center who helped the New York Knicks win two championships during the 1970s, has died. He was 80.

He went on to be the head coach of the Knicks for a little more than a year, and later spent four years as the head coach at the University of Creighton, before working for more than a decade in the then-New Jersey Nets' front office, first as general manager and then as senior vice president of basketball operations. 19 became the first retired by the Knicks in 1976, and he was elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 1982. But the emotional lift he gave the Knicks -- coupled with fellow Hall of Famer Walt "Clyde" Frazier scoring 36 points and dishing out 19 assists in the greatest game of his career -- delivered New York its first NBA title in what became known to history as "The Willis Reed Game." He won a second Finals MVP award as the Knicks got revenge on the Lakers in five games in 1973. My earliest and fondest memories of NBA basketball are of watching Willis, who embodied the winning spirit that defined the New York Knicks' championship teams in the early 1970s," NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. "As we mourn, we will always strive to uphold the standards he left behind -- the unmatched leadership, sacrifice and work ethic that personified him as a champion among champions.

He also was a head coach at Creighton and the New Jersey Nets, but his greatest success after his playing career came in the front office. He stayed in his home state for his college career, leading Grambling State to the 1961 NAIA championship and a third-place finish in 1963. Frazier’s performance was one of the finest ever in a deciding game, but it was forever a footnote to Reed’s return. A second-round pick in 1964, he quickly proved that standing only 6-foot-9 wouldn’t keep him from becoming one of the league’s top centers. Long afterward, a player’s return from injury has sometimes compared to Reed, such as when Boston’s Paul Pierce was carried off the floor with a knee injury in Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals against Los Angeles before quickly returning. Reed provided them with 18.7 points and 12.9 rebounds for his career, along with plenty of toughness. The cause was not released, but Reed had been in poor health recently and was unable to travel to New York when the Knicks honored the 50th anniversary of their 1973 NBA championship team during their game against New Orleans on Feb. Reed wouldn’t be able to recover so quickly from injuries in the coming years. The Lakers stopped to watch Reed, who then made two quick jump shots in the early minutes of the game, running back down the court after both with a noticeable limp. He sat out Game 6 as counterpart Wilt Chamberlain had 45 points and 27 rebounds in a Lakers romp that forced a deciding game at Madison Square Garden. Reed’s status was unknown even to his Knicks teammates as he continued getting treatment until shortly before Game 7.
