Knicks’ Mikal Bridges benched in the fourth quarter in favor of defensive sixth man versus HeatThe New York Knicks’ comeback win over the Miami Heat on Sunday featured one very notable change down the stretch.
Acquired in the summer for five first-round picks, Bridges had been benched previously this season in crunch time — most notably in a November victory in Charlotte. He’s been up and down this season, and Sunday on Biscayne Boulevard — after the Knicks fell down by 19 points in the first half — the coach turned to McBride.
From the beginning of the year, there has been some concern about the shooting of Knicks star wing Mikal Bridges, who had a rough go of things in the preseason, shooting just 2-for-19 from the 3-point arc in four October appearances. He got his touch back in time for the season, but still, Bridges has frequently wavered with his shot this year.
