The Knicks got a little of the old Julius Randle back for one afternoon and a lot of the new-and-improved RJ Barrett.
set the tone with a strong first quarter and RJ Barrett carried the Knicks the rest of the way in a 110-102 Sunday matinee victory over the undermanned Clippers at the Garden to break a three-game losing streak.
So they needed this one after Thursday’s boo-filled stinker against the Pelicans. The Knicks rested point guard Kemba Walker during this back-to-back scenario and started Alec Burks at point guard — and that lineup flourished. Newcomer Cam Reddish made his Knicks debut, but played just 5:23, scoring two points with two rebounds, going 1-for-2 from the field.
The Knicks jumped on the Clippers from the get-go with Randle, Evan Fournier and Barrett hitting consecutive 3-pointers. Then Randle pumped one in from the free-throw line and the Knicks were up 11-2. Randle collected 10 first-quarter points . He also dished out three assists. One notable sequence occurred when he whipped a perfect feed for Robinson underneath. Robinson missed the easy dunk and Randle grabbed the offensive rebound to drilled a step-back 3.
