Knicks' playoff hopes hinge on Julius Randle's health.

TL;DR Summary
Obi Toppin scored a career-high 18 points in his first postseason start for the New York Knicks, filling in for the injured Julius Randle in Game 1 against the Miami Heat. Toppin also contributed eight rebounds and was the only Knick to make more than one 3-pointer in the game. Despite being benched for the final 10 minutes, Toppin impressed coach Tom Thibodeau and will likely return to the second unit once Randle returns. The Knicks will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Tuesday.
