NextImg:Julius Randle’s heroic 3-pointer lifts Knicks over Heat as streak reaches eight

MIAMI — It really is starting to feel like the late 1990s around these Knicks. 

Two days after coach Tom Thibodeau said this group is giving him fond flashbacks, the Knicks pulled out a dramatic last second victory over the Heat that was reminiscent of these two teams’ battles a few decades ago.

Julius Randle pulled an Allan Houston, drilling a left-corner 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left that sent the Knicks to a wild, 122-120 win over the Heat at Miami Dade Arena for their eighth straight victory.

The Knicks (38-27) celebrated the shot, with Randle accidentally knocking coach Tom Thibodeau to the floor.

Mitchell Robinson stole the inbounds pass on the other end, and the large contingent of Knicks fans celebrated yet another victory. 

Randle’s shot capped a brilliant 43-point performance – his fourth 40-point outing of the season – that saw him hit eight 3-pointers and get the better of Heat star Jimmy Butler, brilliant himself with 33 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
