Julius Randle didn’t fall for the trap that Kevin Garnett has been setting for 21 years now. During the season-opener Wednesday night between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett tried to intimidate Randle by getting all up in his face.
It’s a legendary tactic from Garnett, but one Randle paid no attention too. Randle finished with 15 points and 11 boards in the T-Wolves’ 112-111 win.
