Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Stuffs stat sheet in Game 3
Rotowire
Bridges registered 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Bridges has had a limited impact on offense throughout the series and has failed to reach the 15-point plateau in all three games to date. He still provides value due to his ability to fill the stat sheet, but his overall numbers have experienced a marked regression compared to both the regular season and the first-round series against the Pistons. To put things into perspective, he averaged 16.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in the first round of the postseason against Detroit.
Bridges closed with eight points (3-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 51 minutes during Monday's 108-105 overtime win over the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Bridges couldn't get going in the scoring department during Game 1, hitting only three of his 13 attempts from the field. However, the versatile forward got the job done in many other areas on both ends of the basketball floor, helping secure the win on the road. He recorded game-high totals in assists (7), steals (3) and blocks (2), wrapping up a well-rounded and much-needed performance to get this second-round series underway.
Bridges ended with 25 points (11-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 44 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 victory over Detroit in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Bridges finished as the Knicks' second-leading scorer Thursday, posting 17 or more points for the fourth time during the first round. The 28-year-old swingman entered Thursday's game shooting 42.6 percent from the field in the opening round, but he was highly efficient during the club's Game 6 win. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks across 38.6 minutes per game during the club's first-round series win over Detroit. Bridges and the Knicks are set to face the Celtics in the second round. He averaged 13.8 points, 2.3 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 33.8 minutes per game in four regular-season outings against Boston during the 2024-25 campaign.
Bridges amassed eight points (3-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 44 minutes during Sunday's 94-93 victory over Detroit in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Bridges was coming off two strong showings on the offensive end, but he couldn't get into any rhythm until late in the game Sunday -- the veteran forward hit a pair of clutch three-pointers and also picked up a couple of steals in the fourth quarter. Through four postseason games, Bridges holds averages of 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, 2.3 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Fails to make an impact in win
Rotowire
Bridges produced eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 win over Detroit in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round series..
Bridges' underwhelming offensive performance notwithstanding, the Knicks managed to prevail thanks to solid performances from Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns. Bridges averaged 17.6 points on 14.4 shot attempts per game during the regular season, however, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him be a lot more involved on the offensive end in Game 2.

Rotowire
Bridges logged 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 108-102 loss to Cleveland.
In the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Bridges functioned as New York's primary facilitator Friday while Jalen Brunson operated as the No. 1 scoring option. Bridges' eight dimes were one shy of a season-high mark, and he's has averaged 19.3 points, 5.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 36.7 minutes across his last 12 contests.
