New York's starters were ineffective all night and coach Tom Thibodeau stuck with his reserves for the final 1 1/2 quarters.
Last year, Randle sank 160 three-pointers during the regular season. If he's on point again this year, that would mean $80,000 donated.
Julius Randle scored 31 points, including eight straight during a key fourth-quarter stretch, to lead the New York Knicks to a 103-96 victory over the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Cleveland has won four in a row to improve to 7-4. Evan Mobley added 26 points, Jarrett Allen had 18 and Darius Garland 16. New York has lost three of four to fall to 6-4.
Derrick Rose had 23 points off the bench and RJ Barrett added 20 as the Knicks stunned the reigning NBA champions on their home court.
RJ Barrett led New York with 23 points, and Julius Randle added 18 points and 14 rebounds.
OG Anunoby scored a career-high 36 points and the Toronto Raptors won their fourth straight by beating the New York Knicks 113-104 on Monday night in the 75th anniversary of the NBA's first game.
The Knicks went 19 of 33 (57.6%) from 3-point range, the difference in a game that saw the teams relatively even in many other statistical categories.
Kemba Walker scored 21 points, RJ Barrett added 20 and the New York Knicks hung on to hand the Chicago Bulls their first loss of the season 104-103 on Thursday night.
Evan Fournier added 18 points in the Knicks' first victory over Philadelphia since April 12, 2017, the last game of the 2016-17 season.
Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson recorded double-doubles for the Knicks, who lost their first game after opening the season with consecutive wins.
Tom Thibodeau certainly has plenty to be pleased about these days, with his Knicks off to a 2-0 start for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
The Knicks showed off more offensive punch than last season's team that finished 41-31 in its first season under Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau, making the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
The New York Knicks announced Friday the team is 100% vaccinated, but the Brooklyn Nets have said otherwise.
The reigning Most Improved Player will be sticking around for a few more seasons with the Knicks.
