The way a fan was taunting Julius Randle during the New York Knicks loss to the Miami Heat at FTX Arena was not something he liked.
According to the New York Daily News, a Knicks fan in Florida said that he was kicked out of the arena for pointing out his plus-minus against the Heat.
He is sitting right in front of me. I said, "Hey, you know you're minus-34 right now, right?" and he looked at me and got security."
Earlier in the day, Rainey gave a longer explanation of what happened during an appearance on WFAN.

This isn't the first time that Randle has taken issue with Knicks fans. He made a shot in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics game and gave a thumbs-down gesture.
He told reporters after the game that he was sending a message.
He said to shut the f--k up.
The Knicks were booed by the Madison Square Garden crowd during the first half of their game against the Celtics.
The Knicks came back to beat the Celtics, but couldn't do the same against the Heat. The starting five was minus-18 in the loss.
His minus-34 mark was the worst of the season. It was the fourth time in the past six games that he had a minus-20.
The All-Star last season has not been able to repeat that performance in the future. The 27-year-old is on pace to have his worst scoring average and field- goal percentage in his career, not including one game he played as a rookies.
The 11th seed in the Eastern Conference is the Knicks.
