Randle, Fournier shine as Knicks edge Celtics in thriller

NEW YORK (AFP) – Julius Randle and Evan Fournier led the way as the New York Knicks launched their season with a thrilling 138-134 double-overtime defeat of the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Randle had 35 points, while debutant Fournier added 32, including a crucial three-pointer in the final minute of the second overtime period, as the Knicks held on for a dramatic win.

Boston forced overtime after Marcus Smart drilled a 25-foot buzzer-beating three-pointer to tie the game at 116-116.

The Celtics were sparked by a 46-point display from Jaylen Brown, who led the scorers and finished with nine rebounds and six assists.

The Knicks, meanwhile, spread the scoring around with all five starters Ë— including former Celtics ace Kemba Walker — posting double-digit points tallies.

“I can’t wait to go home and lay on the bed, I swear,” a shattered Randle said after the victory. “First game back? Sheesh, goodness. I’m tired.”

“Every time before we go out, coach always puts on the board, ‘Find a way to win.’ And we got it done. This is why we take the pre-season seriously, so we can win games like this,” Randle added.

Fournier, meanwhile, described his debut as “incredible.”

“The energy in this building — I can feel it, I’m loving it,” Fournier said. “I’m just very happy. I think about all the work we did in the pre-season, doing all the extra conditioning. At the end it was just mental.”

– No Simmons, no problem –

Elsewhere Wednesday, Joel Embiid scored 22 points as the Philadelphia 76ers shrugged off the simmering controversy surrounding Ben Simmons with a season-opening 117-97 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Sixers’ pre-season has been dominated by the soap opera involving unsettled star Simmons, who was suspended from Wednesday’s opener after a reported bust-up at a team practice on Tuesday.

But there was no sign of the dressing room rancor affecting the Sixers as last season’s Eastern Conference champions cruised to an emphatic win on the road in the Big Easy.

Embiid, who had been sharply critical of Simmons’s conduct on Tuesday, was one of six Philadelphia players to make double figures.

The two sides reached half-time locked at 53-53, but the Sixers cut loose in the third quarter, outscoring the Pelicans 28-17 to take a stranglehold on the contest before piling on 36 points in the final quarter.

Embiid led the Sixers scoring alongside Furkan Korkmaz, who also had 22 off the bench, while Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey, starting in place of the suspended Simmons, each had 20 points.

Brandon Ingram led the scoring for the Pelicans with 25 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 23. The Pelicans started their campaign without Zion Williamson, who is recovering from surgery to repair a foot injury.

In other games Wednesday, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 30 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves breezed past the Houston Rockets 124-106.

Anthony Edwards added 22 points, while D’Angelo Russell scored 22 for Minnesota against a Rockets team who trailed by 35 points at one stage late in the fourth quarter. Christian Wood led the Rockets scoring with 16 points.
