Knicks’ Julius Randle gets another shot at long-time rival Bobby Portis
NY Post
Julius Randle knows he can’t bully Bobby Portis.
“He’s one of the few people who, I guess, is not scared,” Randle said.
Randle, a physical force, has known this for a while since he and Portis have faced off “my whole life” as power forwards in the same high school class from the South.
Still, Randle tried to trash-talk his longtime rival in the second quarter of Saturday’s Knicks-Bucks matchup — when the Knicks All-Star converted an and-one and proceeded to flex his chest — which only seemed to activate Portis.
From that moment, Portis scored 19 of his 23 points — displaying his usual boisterousness while yelling at Randle and celebrating wildly — as the Bucks rolled to a 130-111 victory.
Portis, who has been on a tear for a couple weeks, is pumped for the Knicks rematch on Christmas afternoon.
