The strategy, as Randle said, is akin to “cheating myself.”So even after his three consecutive duds, there was no sitting in the second game of a back-to-back Sunday against the Lakers. Randle maintained his perfect attendance this season.Coach Tom Thibodeau wasn’t buying fatigue as an excuse.“If Julius ne...
