NBA notes from SNY's Ian Begley after the New York Knicks' 143-106 win Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies and a Julius Randle-Jimmy Butler development to watch before the trade deadline.

Anthony Edwards dominated the struggling Knicks, who were again outplayed in the fourth quarter, again barraged by 3-pointers and again lost handily, 116-99, Friday night to the Timberwolves.

Jalen Brunson had 26 points and Cam Payne scored all 18 of his points in a span of 4:17, but the Knicks couldn't keep up with the Timberwolves.

Knicks fans left little doubt about their feelings for Julius Randle ... an assist on a Mike Conley 3-pointer. But Randle, who was defended by OG Anunoby, attempted only one shot in the first ...

Karl-Anthony Towns‘s trade to and emergence in New York all but dimmed the future of their injured center, Mitchell Robinson, who the Knicks could trade soon.
