Stephen A. Smith was not thrilled about Julius Randle’s performance in the Knicks’ 109–101 Game 4 loss to the Heat on Monday night.
Randle finished with 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the floor, nine rebounds and six of the New York’s 17 turnovers in the game while also fouling out with 3:08 to play in the final quarter. In addition to Randle fouling out, the Heat outrebounded the Knicks, 44–35, and failed to secure vital defensive rebounds in the final stretch of the game.
During the regular season, the Knicks were No. 3 in the league in rebounding.
