Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson go off for big nights to lead Knicks in rout of Bulls
NY Post
Trading RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley sent a couple messages about how the Knicks felt about the state of their franchise, including this one: A clear comfort leaning heavily on Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.
On Wednesday, their faith was rewarded in a 116-100 victory over Chicago, with Randle and Brunson combining for 66 points and burying the Bulls for a second straight win at MSG.
It was the first time this season the pair combined for at least 30 points apiece.
“Oh,” newcomer OG Anunoby said. “They played great.”
Indeed, they carried the Knicks on the game-breaking 24-9 stretch in the fourth quarter, alternating with the ball and scoring efficiently.
Randle led all scorers with 35 points on 13-for-23 shooting. Brunson added 31 points on 13-for-22 from the field with 13 assists. It was the second straight game Brunson reached double-digits in assists after failing to do that at all previously this season.
