Julius Randle put up 19 points on 7-of-17 shooting (1-of-5 3-pointers) with seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block as the Knicks fell to the Cavaliers 126-109 on Sunday evening. The Knicks entered halftime with a 57-56 lead over Cleveland before being outscored 33-18 in the third to enter the fourth trailing 89-75. The Knicks struggled shooting the three as they finished the game 9-of-31 from the three-point line. They also got outrebounded by 16 allowing eleven offensive rebounds on the evening. Randle and the Knicks will be back at it on the second leg of their back-to-back on Monday when they take on the Sixers in Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid said that with defenses aggressively double-teaming him this season, he’s “not even allowed to dribble the ball.” “[Defenders] just come on the catch, and it forces me to give it up,” he said. Tracking data from NBA.com reveal that Embiid is actually holding the ball slightly longer this season, at 2.7 seconds per touch, and his total possession time (2.9 minutes) is identical to 2020-21. He’s shooting 43.5% from the field but is at a career-best 39.4% from deep, and it’s only a matter of time before he regains his touch inside the arc. There’s another silver lining, too, since the constant double-teams have allowed Embiid to dish a career-high 4.0 dimes per game.
