The New York Knicks achieved a great victory tonight (Saturday) at Madison Square Garden – 109:125 over Miami, but in the Big Apple they are currently making progress with Julius Randle’s injury.
In the final minutes of the match, Randall was injured in the shoulder, and then ESPN senior reporter Adrian Wojnarowski reported that he dislocated it, but the severity of the injury is not yet known. The All-Star will undergo an MRI test that will determine how long he will be out.
It was the sixth consecutive victory for the Knicks, the 12th in 14 games since the addition of OG Ennoby and they went to a 17:29 record in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. On the other hand, the runner-up counts six consecutive losses (the longest streak in the league) and it dropped to 22:24 in seventh place in the East.
As always it was Jaylen Bronson who stood out above all others. The emerging All-Star of the Knicks led with 32 points (12 of 22 from the field), 8 assists and 5 rebounds, finishing with a great plus-minus index of +24. Only Josh Hart (5/9/14) surpassed him with 30+. Randall (9 rebounds) and Annovi scored 19 points.
For the disappointing Heat Jimmy Butler scored 28 points, Duncan Robinson 19, Tyler Hero 18 and Bam Adebayo 12 with 13 rebounds. Terry Rozier has yet to get into things with the new team and he finished with 10 points on 33% from the field along with 7 assists.
The hosts led 51:61 at the break and 69:82 about three and a half minutes to the end of the third quarter, but then Butler led a 4:17 run and the Heat came back to life. The Knicks returned fire with a 3:13 run at the beginning of the fourth quarter led by Bronson, who jumped the fans with a 3-pointer that made it 96:112 and practically closed the story. New York won the decisive quarter 23:36.
