Mikal Bridges , the spotlighted player Friday for the interborough rivalry game, cost the Knicks five.
The Knicks needed something bigger and better from their starting backcourt of Bridges and Jalen Brunson.

“There are some things we’re doing well defensively, but there are things we’ve got to get better at,” coach Tom Thibodeau said after explaining the philosophy of the trade with brevity. “Obviously, we felt he’s a good fit for us. He’s been a good player in the league for a long time, so we just liked the fit.”
