Julius Randle on Nets' struggles: 'That's their problem, all good over here in Knick-land, baby'
“That’s their problem. All good over here in Knick-land, baby,” Julius Randle said with a smile when asked about the Nets after burying eight 3-pointers and scoring a season-high 31 points Monday in a win at Minnesota. The two locals will clash for the first time this season on Wednesday night in Brooklyn. The Knicks (5-5) are ahead in the Eastern Conference standings by 1 ½ games over the Nets, who are 4-7 after suffering a two-point loss Monday in Dallas.

More on this storyline
“I know what everyone else knows. It’s a situation I hope they get sorted out over there. It’s our next game, that’s all I care about,” Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson said. “I’ll watch them occasionally but I haven’t really dug into them. The next day or so I’ll get into them further,” Thibodeau said when asked about the Nets after the win Monday. “I worry about the Knicks. That’s more than enough for me.” -via New York Post / November 9, 2022
The Knicks didn’t eclipse their team record of 24 3-pointers from October of last season against Orlando, but they did drill their most ever in the first quarter — 10 — and finished with 19 on a season-high 48 attempts to cruise to a 120-107 win over the Timberwolves at Target Center on Monday. Julius Randle tied his career best by connecting on eight of 13 attempts from long distance and finished with a season-high 31 points as the Knicks evened their record at 5-5. “I think guys were just playing free and fun. The other part of that is guys were playing free and not second-guessing themselves,” Randle said. “If it’s open, shoot it. And create for each other.” -via New York Post / November 8, 2022
