Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns combine for 42 points as the Knicks dominate the Pacers.

Bridges was also the Knicks’ primary defender against Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum, who shot 8 of 11 from 3-point range and scored 37 points, Boston’s NBA-high 29 treys in a game. “I definitely could have done better. I think my defensive play wasn’t that (good) for me personally and for our team,” said Bridges, who finished with a team-worst minus-33 in 35 minutes. “Personally, I think I could have been better, especially (against) a guy who caught it and had the same rhythm from three, just stood up a little more (on Tatum). “He also beat me well in the paint. You just have to get better. I mean, the first game, you just have to learn from it and get better.” -by using New York Post / October 23, 2024
