Shooters shoot their shot and Randle definitely made Washington pay.

Randle's key bucket gave him 13 points on an awful evening efficiency-wise, shooting just 5-16 from the field. Still, the 26-year-old made his presence felt down the stretch and helped the Knicks outscore the visiting Wizards 39-24 in the fourth and final period which was highlighted by a 13-1 run to finish the game.

With Randle struggling all evening, the Knicks relied on the steady hand of second-year star RJ Barrett who logged in 42 minutes and dropped 24 points and 10 boards. Alec Burks also came up huge off the bench with a team-high of 27 points, 15 of which came in the last 12 minutes.

The win puts the Knicks to 14-8 at home and helps them continue to cement their spot in the middle of the East's playoff picture.
