The Knicks’ reserve power forward still made an impact on Game 1 against the Cavaliers.
The 25-year-old Toppin added that he “1000-percent” was happy to have Randle back in the lineup, even if it meant a more limited personal role.
“I just feel like we came in and played with a lot of energy. Knew what we had to do when we got out there, and just had fun. We always want to win, we never want to lose. So we have the mindset of going into every game with a winning mindset going in there, give it 110 [percent] to come out with the win.”
