The Knicks already have seen the Heat with and without their best player, and that should help Tom Thibodeau’s team in its preparation for Game 3.
“There was no way I was sitting out at all,” Randle said Thursday. “I have a lot of respect for Jimmy, the type of player he is. Mentally, you know he’s gonna be locked in and engaged regardless of how he feels bad, and he’ll be great.
“He’s a winning player. He’s one of those guys that just has that warrior mentality, trying to will his team to win. When he’s out there neutralize that as best we can.”
