On Monday afternoon, the New York Knicks hosted the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden in New York City.   

The Knicks won the game by a score of 129-122, and Jalen Brunson led the way with 38 points, four rebounds, six assists and one steal. 

All-Star forward Julius Randle finished his afternoon with 24 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one steal while shooting 8/17 from the field and 2/5 from the three-point range in 41 minutes of playing time.   

He also made team-history by becoming the 17th player to score 7,000 points as a member of the Knicks. 

With the victory, the Knicks improved to 17-12 in their first 29 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.  

They are 5-5 over their last ten games and 8-4 in the 12 games they have hosted on their home floor at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

Following the Bucks, the Knicks will now visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday evening. 

Randle has played in all 29 games so far this season and is averaging 22.9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per contest while shooting 46.4% from the field and 29.3% from the three-point range.  

He was the seventh pick in the 2014 NBA Draft out of Kentucky and is in his tenth season in the league (his fifth with New York).  

In addition to the Knicks, the two-time NBA All-Star has also spent time with the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans.
