Balanced Knicks pummel Grizzlies for impressive win over one of NBA’s best teams
NY Post
This time, the Knicks measured up.
Facing the NBA’s hottest team with a top 5 record, the Knicks not only toppled the Grizzlies on Monday night at MSG, they battered them into early submission behind a balanced attack and two-way domination from Mikal Bridges.
The Knicks got what they wanted offensively in the 143-106 annihilation, while the Grizzlies devolved into a turnover mess when they had the rock.
The result was a 26-point lead in the third quarter, a mass concession substitution from the Grizzlies with about five minutes remaining in the fourth, and an overall Knicks performance ranking near their best of the season.
“We’re going in the right direction,” Bridges said.
Bridges dropped 28 points and, as the primary defender, stifled Ja Morant.
