Powered by a Julius Randle triple-double and a second-half explosion from star forward Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 102-97 to take a 2-1 series lead in the conference semifinals on Friday night at Chase Center.

Last offseason, when the Knicks and Timberwolves pulled off a blockbuster trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for a package built around Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, it was New York that was widely declared the winner of the deal.

Julius Randle has built a solid financial foundation through a mix of NBA contracts, endorsement deals, and real estate investments. His earnings come not only from playing basketball but also from working with brands and making smart off-court decisions.
