Mikal Bridges made crucial turnaround following Game 2 fourth quarter blunders
NY Post
DETROIT — Mikal Bridges could have been hesitant after his rough fourth quarter — in which he missed four critical shots in the final four minutes — cost the Knicks a chance to win Game 2.
But he responded with his most well-rounded showing of the series during the Knicks’ 118-116 Game 3 win Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Bridges finished with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field and 3-for-6 shooting from 3-point range along with seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.
It was the most points, rebounds and assists he’s had in the series.
Much was made of Jalen Brunson and the Knicks’ need to improve their ball movement after Game 2.
Bridges certainly benefitted from exactly that in Game 3.
