After dropping Game 1, the Cavaliers rebounded in a big way on Tuesday night against the Knicks, rolling to a 107–90 win to even the series. Given the blowout nature of the game, a late attempt at a chase-down block by Jarrett Allen on Julius Randle raised questions on both sides of the matchup.
With the Cavaliers up 23 with just over 2:20 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Knicks star forward went up for a dunk in transition. Cavs center Allen attempted to block the dunk, taking Randle down in frightening fashion under the hoop. Randle went down hard under and was slow to get up, holding his backside and sharing some words with Allen as he headed towards the bench.
THIS RANDLE DUNK 😳
