Knicks fans were mostly ecstatic. Nets fans were disappointed but understood.
The blockbuster trade that sent Mikal Bridges from Brooklyn to Broadway for five first-round draft picks, a second-rounder and a first-round pick swap felt like a seismic move that said a lot about the directions the two franchises were headed. Mikal Bridges drives on Andre Jackson Jr. during the first quarter of the Knicks’ 116-94 win over the Bucks earlier this month.On Friday night, the two meet for the first time since the dramatic deal.
His rebounding is down, and he has a minus-0.6 NET rating, meaning the Knicks are being outscored by 0.6 points per 100 possessions with Bridges on the floor. But they fell short when Josh Hart fouled Colby White from 3-point range, White hit all three free throws with 3 seconds left and Jalen Brunson’s jumper at the buzzer was halfway down and popped out.
