After he twice was benched for most of the fourth quarter during a four-game stretch in late November, Mikal Bridges acknowledged that he’s “gotta play better.”
The Knicks wing finally looks like he has found his groove since the calendar flipped to December, including 23 points with a key long-range bucket late in Monday’s pulled-out victory in Toronto.
Bridges is putting up 22.4 points per game during the Knicks’ 4-1 run entering Wednesday’s quarterfinal matchup in the NBA Cup against the Hawks at the Garden.
He also leads the NBA in plus-minus for the month (plus-109) and in minutes per game for the season with an average of 38.3 over his first 24 appearances following an offseason trade from the Nets.
Mikal Bridges #25 of the New York Knicks celebrates three point basket during the game against the Toronto Raptors on December 9, 2024 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Bridges’ recent shooting numbers represent a vast improvement from his first 19 games with his new team, shooting just 30.6 percent from 3-point range through a Nov. 29 win in Charlotte.
He sat for the final 10-plus minutes of that game, after previously getting benched by Tom Thibodeau for much of the fourth quarter six days earlier in Utah during the same road trip.
Both times, Bridges noted that Thibodeau made “the right decision.”
