And Randle, as usual, got a big shout-out from his biggest supporter, his wife, Kendra Randle. When the NBA on ESPN account sent out a message on X about Randle, writing, "JULIUS RANDLE WENT OFF TO ELIMINATE THE WARRIORS," Kendra Randle responded.

Steve Kerr was not expecting Julius Randle to author his Warriors downfall. Randle had two disappointing postseasons with the Knicks as he battled injuries. When he was traded to the Timberwolves this offseason, many felt the Knicks had won the deal while landing Karl Anthony-Towns.

Julius Randle scored 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting, and the Minnesota Timberwolves held on for a 121-110 win over the Golden State Warriors to clinch their Western Conference semifinals series on Wednesday night in Minneapolis.
