Mikal Bridges quickly flipped script on his Knicks shooting woes
NY Post
It was a night and day — or road and home — turnaround for Mikal Bridges in his first two games with the Knicks.
Any concern over his wayward shooting appears to be behind him.
Bridges marked his regular-season Garden debut with 21 points on 8 of 12 shooting in the Knicks’ 123-98 win over the Pacers.
“It was dope, man,” Bridges said. “Just the excitement in here; it’s really crazy. Just happy to get a win.”
Bridges checked out to a huge ovation from his new home crowd with the Knicks leading by 28 with 9:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Bridges, who was acquired from the Nets over the summer, has nailed 15 of 20 shot attempts over his past six quarters after he’d missed his first five shots, including four from 3-point range, in a scoreless first half Tuesday night against the Celtics.
