Julius Randle was hoping the Knicks’ game against the Bucks on Friday in the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament would be an opportunity for him to amend his early season offensive struggles.
However, the woes for the Knicks forward continued, with him being visibly frustrated in the final moments on Friday’s contest in Milwaukee. Trailing 104-103 with less than a minute to play in regulation, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson attempted to attack the rim before missing on a leaning jump shot that was contested by Bucks guard Damian Lillard.
Randle, who was not pleased with the outcome of the possession, jogged up the court as the Bucks’ Khris Middleton pushed the pace and then found a cutting Lillard, who was fouled while converting the layup to put Milwaukee up by three points with a free throw opportunity.
