Randle was hit with two technical fouls and an ejection after the incident that occurred with 2:40 left in the third quarter.

Randle and Johnson exchanged hard bumps as the two jostled for rebounding position. Official Dedric Taylor attempted to intervene but Randle brushed him aside and gave Johnson a hard shove before the two were separated.

"You can't cross over that line," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said after the contest. "You've got to know where to stop."

Johnson was given a technical foul. He later got revenge by scoring 21 fourth-quarter points and banking in the winning 31-foot, 3-pointer as time expired to cap a career-best 38-point effort.
