The third quarter saw Randle come alive, hitting key shots that turned the tide in favor of the Knicks. After a questionable foul call on Randle, which raised eyebrows among fans and commentators alike, he didn’t back down. Instead, Randle retaliated with precision, sinking crucial baskets and asserting his dominance on the court. At the five-minute mark of the third quarter, the Knicks had not only secured the largest lead of the game but also shifted the momentum entirely in their favor.
