Bridges amassed 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Bridges was efficient while scoring double-digit points for the seventh straight game, albeit in a losing effort. The 28-year-old swingman averaged 15.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 38.0 minutes per contest in the six-game series loss to Indiana. Bridges has one more year remaining on his contract after playing in all 82 regular-season outings for the Knicks this season, during which he averaged 17.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the field across 37.0 minutes per game.
Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Modest performance in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Bridges chipped in 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Bridges scored at least 15 points for the fifth straight game, although his peripheral production was a little underwhelming. For the most part, Bridges has been a relatively consistent producer on both ends of the floor, averaging 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 combined steals and blocks over the past 13 games. Tuesday's loss now sees New York trailing Indiana 3-1, making Game 5 a non-negotiable for the Knicks.
Bridges recorded 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 119-81 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Bridges chipped in across the board, continuing what has been a strong postseason showing. Although his scoring has been a little up and down, his ability to dominate on the defensive end of the floor has been invaluable. Across 12 playoff appearances, Bridges is averaging 15.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 3.0 combined steals and blocks.
